Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Arabian Nights (1974) — the final film in his Trilogy of Life — transforms the tales of One Thousand and One Nights into a lush, dreamlike celebration of love, sensuality, and fate. Filmed across Yemen, Ethiopia, and Iran, it’s a visually radiant mosaic of storytelling, eroticism, and human wonder — one of Pasolini’s most beautiful works.
The final part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life series was two years in the making. The locations - Yemen, Iran and Nepal - from a rich exotic backdrop to these tales of slaves and kings, potions, betrayals, demons and, most of all, love and lovemaking in all its myriad forms.
Engrossing, mysterious, profound and liberating, Arabian Nights is an exquisitely dreamlike, sensuous and adult interpretation of the original folk tales, presented here in a beautiful new High Definition restoration.
