- Description
- The films "The Decameron," "Canterbury Tales," and "The Arabian Knights" make up Pasolini's "Trilogy," here explored for how the films reflect understanding of the literary works from which they derive--in particular, how Pasolini's "Abiura," or recantation, recalls and parodies Chaucer's Ret.
