The Decameron

Sergio Citti's provocative adaptation of Boccaccio's medieval tales transposes the original's ribald humour and moral ambiguity to a sultry, modern-day Sicily. Citti’s ensemble of vignettes, each a microcosm of human folly and desire, unfolds with a breezy, irreverent tone. From a young man’s double-swindle to a crafty priest’s seduction attempts, these stories revel in the chaos of human nature, where deceit and passion intertwine in a sun-drenched dance of sin and salvation.
