The Black Decameron (1972)
Directed by Piero Vivarelli
Overview
Five unrelated tales: (1) “The Ravishing Queen” / “La Reina Bella”, in which the queen choses a king by devious endurance tests of the pretendants; (2) “The Punished Lovers”, in which a fake blind husband is ‘cured’ after having the culprits banished from the tribe; (3) “The Old Prostitute” who manages to take revenge from all the village dignitaries who wrongfully condemned her brother; (4) “The Endless Search” that does not end until a hunter finds his perfect end-game; (5) “The Crazy Woman” whose illness was not exactly of the mind, but of an (almost) insatiable lust.
