Pier Paolo Pasolini retells eight of Chaucer’s famous Canterbury tales in a vivid, cinematic series of re-enactments. As the stories unfold, brief glimpses of Chaucer at work on his celebrated text are woven throughout, framing the film as both an adaptation of the tales and a portrait of the imagination behind them.
