SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Pasolini’s next medieval anthology has the same carnivalesque, earthy humour, direct address and deliberately rough-hewn visual world, shifting among lusty tales with irreverent energy.
02
Why this pick
Completing Pasolini’s Trilogy of Life, this is another sensuous, episodic folktale mosaic—sunlit, sexually frank and full of nonprofessional performers and playful storytelling.
03
Why this pick
Its picaresque wandering, comic folk texture and fable-like episodes share The Decameron’s pleasure in the vulgar, sacred and absurd colliding on the road.
04
Why this pick
Bergman approaches medieval-flavoured sexual comedy through a witty, irreverent fable, balancing bawdiness, religion and moral mischief rather than solemn period-pageantry.
05
Why this pick
For the literary-period side of The Decameron, Rohmer offers a poised yet mischievous tale of desire and social ritual, told with lucid classicism and sly comic restraint.

01 / THE STORY
The film, shot in Neapolitan dialect at the behest of the director, offers a variety of episodes from the stories most characteristic of the work of Giovanni Boccaccio, and are linked through a pupil of the painter Giotto (played by Pasolini himself) who arrives in Naples to paint a mural.
