How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A vivacious, irreverent romp through medieval misadventures where lust, cunning, and human folly collide in rapid succession. Pasolini transforms Boccaccio's tales into a lustful, darkly comic carnival that gleefully skewers religious hypocrisy and celebrates desire in all its messy, ridiculous glory.
