Following "The Decameron" (1971), Pier Paolo Pasolini is back with his second bawdy classic. Several of Chaucer's tales, including those of the Friar, the Wife of Bath, the Cook, the Merchant, the Miller, the Summoner, and the Reeve are told with both humor and drama. The stories reveal 14th-Century English culture–including sexual, social, and political life.
