Review of The Canterbury Tales (1972) by David B — 03 Jun 2012
The second in his "trilogy of life", Pasolini's CT is a triumph of atmosphere. Though often considered the weaker in the series because of stilted acting and the ridiculous interpretation of the source material (true) this excellent film succeeds in painting such a glorious picture of the medieval English countryside.
The film makes you feel like you want to be inside of it (hat's off to cinematographer Colli and Ennio Morricone's score). The tales are bawdy, silly, and entertaining throughout though Pasolini's style is certainly an acquired taste.
