Summary
The final part of Pasolinis Trilogy of Life series, following The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales, was two years in the making. The locations - Yemen, Ethiopia, Iran, and Nepal - form a rich, exotic backdrop to these tales of slaves and kings, potions, betrayals, demons and, most of all, love and lovemaking in all its myriad forms.
Engrossing, mysterious, profound and liberating - Arabian Nights is an exquisitely dreamlike, sensuous interpretation of the original folk tales, praised by novelist and Arab scholar Robert Irwin as wonderful the only version made for adults.
