Arabian Nights (1974)
Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini
The final part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life series is rich with exotic tales of slaves and kings, potions, betrayals, demons and, most of all, love and lovemaking in all its myriad forms. Mysterious and liberating, this is an exquisitely dreamlike and adult interpretation of the original folk tales.

What critics compared Arabian Nights to
Any further familiarity with Greek mythology will merely get in the way of this slow-building, hyperstylized pastiche, which draws upon the helmer's many influences, from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to the gold-toned vistas of Pasolini's "Arabian Nights," with room for rich multiculti costumes (simultaneously Greek, Indian and Orc-like) and Hong Kong fight choreography in the same frame.
