The Life Trilogy by Pier Paolo Pasolini - Blu-ray box set
The cult and masterful trilogy of Pier Paolo Pasolini
In the early 1970s, the great Italian poet, philosopher and director Pier Paolo Pasolini decided to bring three great founding stories to the screen: The Decameron , The Canterbury Tales and The Thousand and One Nights .
