"The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer may be among the most respected and famous works of classic literature, but anybody whose read it knows that it is a masterpiece of bawdy and dirty medieval comedy. The great filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini adapts this literary classic successfully, by showcasing its most funny and erotic elements, creating an entertaining and wild ride!
Some of the segments in this film are certainly better than others (my favorites are "The Merchant's Tale", "The Cook's Tale", and "The Summoner's Tale"), and the final segment is easily the highlight. Seriously, the climax of this film is easily the funniest, strangest, and craziest depiction of Hell you'll ever see!
