THE LAST DECAMERON: ADULTERY IN 7 EASY LESSONS

Cinemavixion Review

Italo Alfaro's "The Last Decameron: Adultery in 7 Easy Lessons" plunges viewers into a series of risqué vignettes, each drawing inspiration from the timeless tales of Boccaccio. Released in 1972, the film explores themes of desire, deception, and the lengths to which individuals will go to satisfy their carnal urges. The episodic structure allows for a diverse array of scenarios, from clever legal defenses rooted in sensuality to complex romantic entanglements. Performances by Pier Paola Bucchi, Beba Loncar, and Femi Benussi navigate these often audacious narratives with a blend of wit and eroticism. While the film revels in its provocative subject matter, it also offers a playful, albeit cynical, commentary on societal norms and the enduring power of human desire. A daring exploration of infidelity and its consequences.
