Join us for a special conversation on Sunday, October 18. This film’s book pairing, Heretical Aesthetics: Pasolini on Painting by Pier Paolo Pasolini, is available for purchase at Alienated Majesty Books, in person or online.

Inspired by the tales of Giovanni Boccaccio, the first film in Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Trilogy of Life imagines a pre-modern world where personal freedom, sensuality, and eroticism are central to human experience, and church and religion are fodder for comedy. In 35mm.
