Pasolini, Chaucer and Boccaccio : two medieval texts and their translation to film /
Blandeau, Agnès,1966-
Jefferson, N.C. ; London : McFarland,
c2006.
"The book first studies the two films and puts them in perspective. Next, it interprets both films from a wider perspective, recounting misinterpretations, expounding upon Pasolini's ideological vision, and defending the oft-criticized adaptations. Finally, the conclusion discusses how the films represent innovation over strict adaptation, and considers the paradox of rendering, non-realistically, the essence of original works"--Provided by publisher.
