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. "Arabian Nights" was the third installment of director-writer Pier Paolo Pasolini's literary trilogy, which included "Canterbury Tales" and "The Decameron." Filmed in Nepal, Yemen, Iran and Eritrea. Shot in Technicolor. Original running time was 155 minutes. Screened at Cannes Film Festival. Original MPAA Rating (in 1979) was X; Re-submitted in 1991 and given NC-17 rating. | |
