THE CANTERBURY TALES - DVD
The Canterbury Tales (DVD)
A film by Pier Paolo Pasolini
The second part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life is based on the fourteenth-century stories of Geoffrey Chaucer. Plunging with gusto into some of the blackest and bawdiest of the tales, Pasolini celebrates almost every conceivable form of sexual act with a rich, earthly humour. The film's visual magic is complimented by this new High Definition restoration.
A particular delight is the use of a largely British cast, including Hugh Griffith, Jenny Runacre and Tom Baker, with Pasolini himself taking the part of Chaucer.
Special features:
- Alternative English-language version
- Alternative shots
- Original Italian trailer
- Exclusive new documentary exploring Pasolini's significance on the Italian genre film
