Arabian Nights
Pier Paolo Pasolini unfolds the Sensual and Erotic tales of the fabled... 1001 Arabian Nights
Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini
Produced by Les Productions Artistes Associés, PEA
A sensual, dreamlike adaptation of Arabian Nights that celebrates erotic desire and human connection through exotic, fantastical storytelling.
The final part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life series is rich with exotic tales of slaves and kings, potions, betrayals, demons and, most of all, love and lovemaking in all its myriad forms. Mysterious and liberating, this is an exquisitely dreamlike and adult interpretation of the original folk tales.
