Exotic spectacle and unbridled sensuality collide in Pier Paolo Pasolini's dreamlike retelling of the Arabian fable. In this lush adaptation, a prince goes abroad in search of his beloved slave, whom someone has kidnapped. As he travels from land to land, he listens to erotic tales told by the people he meets--and though the stories entice him, he never can forget the lover he hopes to find again. The film--shot on location in Yemen, Ethiopia, Iran, and Nepal--is the final chapter in Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life" series that includes The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales.

I have rather mixed feelings about this film. On the one hand it is interesting and a somewhat creative film, on the other hand it is boring, lengthy and sometimes stupid. The actors looked like they were just joking in this film. The story was so poor, sometimes quite predictable. And as multiple people here have said, you don't make a great movie with constant fucking.
