Canterbury Tales
Canterbury Tales
A film by Pablo Pasolini. A weaker film than The Decameron but similar in a lot of ways. Amazingly enough it won the main prize at the 1973 Berlin film festival proving that arty fart film freaks are really only porno freaks at heart. This extravagant film has nothing much going for it except some of England's best genitalia. Pasolini strolled around England looking for talent amongst the ordinary village folk. The result bricklayer and a street-fighter amongst others showed actors what acting is all about. Needless to say the acting was the best aspect of the film.
