Beffe, licenze et amori del Decamerone segreto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a Unita review of Giuseppe Vari’s decameroticon\u00a0Beffe, licenze et amori del Decamerone segreto<\/strong>, aka Love, Passion and Pleasure.<\/p>\n

And now even Cecco Angiolieri arrives among the array of great authors stuck in the mire of bargain basement productions currently rampant on our screens. \u00a0And while Boccaccio is at least physically\u00a0reprieved\u00a0 Angiolieri suffers the worst sort of fate, being the named protagonist of of this film. \u00a0The poet,\u00a0transformed\u00a0into an acrobat, conducts the fun. \u00a0Shot with an ‘epidermic’ style,\u00a0turgid\u00a0and chaotic, the film is directed by Walter Pisani and stars Dado Crostarosa, Malisa Longo and Patrizia Viotti.<\/p>\n

Note: I have a bit of a soft spot for Giuseppe Vari, who made some decent Spaghetti Westerns and Poliziotteschi, but I can’t say he’s someone who strikes me as a natural director of comedies. \u00a0Dado\u00a0Crostarosa, who plays the protagonist, was a typical non-star of the time, coming off the back of a small role in Lizzani’s\u00a0Roma bene\u00a0<\/strong>and Georges Lautner’s\u00a0Flic Story<\/strong>. \u00a0He also had the lead role in another decameroticon,\u00a0Il decamerone proibito – le altre novelle del Boccaccio<\/strong>, before disappearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
