Archangel Gabriel and Mistress Goose (1965)

Directed by Jiří Trnka

Overview

Taken from Boccaccio’s Decameron, this lovely puppet film tells the bawdy story of the beautiful young Venetian lady who confesses her sinful passion for the Archangel Gabriel to a lustful monk, who promptly impersonates him in her bedroom with predictable results. Amidst the film’s ribaldry, the hypocrisy and false piety of the monk are mercilessly mocked.

Length 29 minutes
