Trilogy of Life Collection

The director Pasolini, who rose in the late period of neorealism films in Italy, continued his creative line of alerting the world with ancient mythological themes in the 1960s, and successively adapted and shot three classic classic films, namely "The Decameron", "The Canterbury Story" and "A Thousand Nights", with a relatively popular approach, collectively known as the "Trilogy of Life". Because these three films have more exposed scenes and adopt a more popular entertainment film route, some film scholars also refer to them as Pasolini's "pornographic trilogy".
