Pier Paolo Pasolini writes, directs and stars in this Italian comedy drama based on Giovanni Boccaccio's novel. Made up of nine individual stories, the film includes tales of betrayed husbands, young lovers, immoral nuns, deceptive doctors and unlikely saints as well as two friends who wish to find out about the afterlife. Meanwhile, a painter's pupil named Allievo di Giotto (Pasolini) arrives in Naples to paint a mural. (British Film Institute (BFI))
