The Decameron with Le mura di Sana’a (The Walls of Sana’a)
Fri, Mar 4 | 7:30pm | TMT
The first installment in Pasolini’s Trilogy of Life, The Decameron revels in the pleasures of the flesh as the writer-director transforms several 14th-century moral tales by Giovanni Boccaccio into a bawdy riot of bodies. Pasolini himself makes a rare appearance as a pupil to the painter Giotto at work on a formidable fresco.
Also screening is a ravishing portrait of the Yemenese capital of Sana’a shot while Pasolini was filming The Decameron .
