The Canterbury Tales [Dual Format Edition - Blu-Ray and DVD] Blu-ray

The second part of Pasolini’s Trilogy of Life is based on the fourteenth-century stories of Geoffrey Chaucer. Plunging with gusto into some of the blackest and bawdiest of the tales, Pasolini celebrates almost every conceivable form of sexual act with a rich, earthy humour. The film’s visual magic is complimented by this new high-definition restoration.

Special features

• Alternative English-language version presented with English-version inserts

• Original Italian trailer

• Exclusive new documentary exploring Pasolini’s significance on the Italian genre film

• Fully illustrated booklet including essays, reviews and biography

A particular delight is the use of a largely British cast, including Hugh Griffith, Jenny Runacre and Tom Baker, which Pasolini himself takes the part of Chaucer.
