Synopsis Only Pasolini could bring Boccaccio's classic tales of passion to the screen with all their lusty fervor intact. Winner of the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, The Decameron is Pasolini's triumphant celebration of the flesh and the spirit, the sacred and the profane. Eight tales from the 14th century Naples, including the seducing nuns, the three jealous brothers who murder their sister's lover, the wizard who could change his wife into a burro and the story of a false saint. The first of Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life" films that set the tone and tempo for the films to follow. **The original film element used in making this DVD were obtained from the Museum of Modern Art and are the best available. The visual image is not up to modern standars, however, we felt it important to make the film availbale to interested customers.** Cast & Crew Actors:  • Ninetto Davoli  • M.
