Arabian Nights

Exotic spectacle and unbridled sensuality collide in Pier Paolo Pasolini's dreamlike retelling of the Arabian fable. In this lush adaptation, a prince goes abroad in search of his beloved slave, whom someone has kidnapped. As he travels from land to land, he listens to erotic tales told by the people he meets--and though the stories entice him, he never can forget the lover he hopes to find again. The film--shot on location in Yemen, Ethiopia, Iran, and Nepal--is the final chapter in Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life" series that includes THE DECAMERON and THE CANTERBURY TALES.

  If you like naked guys - this is for you
  
  If you like decent acting and a story that makes sense this will annoy you - be warned. Its frustrating, utterly implausible and frankly boring. Truly one man ... read more »

  ancient blue movie but no content worth watching
  
  What a load of rubbish. Like an early blue film, but even less interesting content. The subtitles are a preferred diversion from the endless nude bodies - ... read more »

  Mixed feelings..
  
  This won awards when it first came out, which may mystify some. On the positives, it seems pretty close to the 'real' Arabian Nights, which contains ... read more »
