Erotische Geschichten aus 1001 Nacht (1974)

Erotische Geschichten aus 1001 Nacht: Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. With Ninetto Davoli, Franco Citti, Franco Merli, Tessa Bouché. In ancient Arabia, a beautiful slave girl chooses a youth to be her new master, then she is kidnapped and they must search for each other. Stories are told within stories: love, travel and the whims of destiny.

“u0026quot;Fiore delle mille e una notteu0026quot; ,which won special prize at CANNES 1974 is the third part of what Pasolini called the trilogy of life which encompasses u0026quot;il decameronu0026quot; (1971) andu0026quot; racconti di Canterburyu0026quot; (1972). Itu0026#39;s the most accessible of all Pasolini movies ,and werenu0026#39;t it for the numerous nudities,it would appeal to large audience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis must be the script:itu0026#39;s much better than the two first films because the story is built à la Shéhérazade ,with plots ,subplots and subsubplots which fit into each other;and although sex is the main vector,it features enough twists to sustain the interest throughout.It does not forget magic (the segment which features Ninetto Davoli,Pasoliniu0026#39;s favorite actor,uses a lot of symbols)and mystery (the adolescent who must be killed when heu0026#39;s fifteen ).Humor is less vulgar than in u0026quot;di racconti di Canterburyu0026quot; The little riddle u0026quot;the aromatic grass of the fieldsu0026quot; u0026quot;the slit pomegranateu0026quot; and u0026quot;the inn of the warm welcome u0026quot; is witty.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLittle did we know that Pasolini would follow his trilogy of life with the most depressing work ever made :u0026quot;Salou0026quot; (1975).”
