This film is based on the literary work Canterbury Tales, while the film selects eight stories from many independent stories in the original work, which reflects the social state of medieval England with a short and naked narrative style. This film, which emphasizes sex as a weapon against religious bondage and fighting for human freedom, realistically portrays very different sentient beings, extravagant city owners, villains specializing in snitching and blackmailing, students who make mysteries and seduce the young women of their neighbors, dissolute female rich men, and small scoundrels living at the bottom of society, and so on. The Canterbury Tales, directed by the famous Italian director Pierre Paolo Pasorini, is adapted from the 14th century English poet Geoffrey Chaucer's collection of poetic novels of the same name. Director Pasorini played Chaucer himself. This film is the second part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life, and the other two are Ten days talk and 1001 Nights. The film won the Golden Bear Award at the 22nd Berlin International Film Festival in 1972.
