    Many people who don't understand this film don't know much about the spirit of the late Middle Ages, an era when the aesthetic tastes of the bourgeoisie went to war against the chivalrous class, the clergy class and the imperial power. Pasolini restores this interest very...

    Series ends. After the trilogy, it is impossible to say how deeply impressed the movie left me. I have been spoiled by the current movies, and watching these three movies has always been a little bit unbearable. The trilogy is basically straight-forward, without any special narrative skills, and the actors can't talk about the explosion of acting skills, just not play. I think this is Pasolini's uniqueness, and the human nature shown in the film is more real. Sex is a human instinct. Whether...

Maybe everything is just for...

    "The Canterbury Tales" - Concentration Camp for Non-Connotative Dummies

    The Middle Ages in my impression are always full of incomprehensible contradictions: they both enjoy themselves in the days of strictly adhering to the rules and regulations, and they are proud of the relapses of stealing and slipping; Abide by moral constraints; it is a dark and bloody history,...

    Pasolini's Q&A on The Canterbury Tales

    Pasolini "Life Trilogy" CC Blu-ray Set

    This article is translated from Pasolini's "Life Trilogy" CC Blu-ray set booklet. Out of my love for Pasolini, I was surprised by his candid and unabashed attitude towards "sex" in the "Trilogy of Life", which makes people feel natural and beautiful, but does...

The Canterbury Tales quotes

  • Molly: [singing] Oh, there was a little beggar man that goes from town to town, and wherever he get a job and work he's willing to sit down. With his bundle on his shoulder, his stick was in his hand and it's down the country I shall go with me roving journeyman. And from the County Carlow the girls all jump for joy. Says one unto the other "now here comes a Dublin boy." And they wanted me to marry her and took me by the hand. She went home and told her mother that she loves the journeyman.

  • Angel: Hey Satan! Lift up your tail and show us where you keep the friars in hell!
