Il Decameron is delightful. Totally fun and very much captures the spirit of playfulness and cleverness that is such a hallmark of Boccaccio's great novel. (I
adore this novel, for the record. It's enormously long and I couldn't put it down!) Pasolini's film is sexy and fun, and even though I saw it more than a week ago, I haven't stopped thinking about it. I watched it on the Criterion Channel ... and I had meant also to watch Pasolini's
Canterbury Tales, but I ran out of time and now it's no longer playing on the channel. Guess I'll catch the Chaucer one some other time.
