Critic Reviews of "The Canterbury Tales"
Chicago ReaderOctober 23, 2007If Pasolini had something more than grubby fantasy on his mind -- and presumably he did -- it isn't immediately apparent.
Q Network Film DeskJanuary 04, 2013the brash, arguably campy manner in which Pasolini transcribes Chaucer's medieval bawdiness to the screen, coupled with the film's various technical faults (particularly the lousy dubbed dialogue), tends to make the film a chore to watch.
TV GuideOctober 23, 2007After the formidable commercial success of his bawdy Decameron, Pier Pasolini applied the same formula to Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales with somewhat less appealing results.
New TimesApril 28, 2004Robust and smart, much like its more expansive source material.
Not Coming to a Theater Near YouApril 14, 2004In contrast to the Italy of Pasolini's Decameron, the England of The Canterbury Tales is much more harsh in its treatment of vice of all kinds.
Film4May 24, 2003It can be hard going at times, especially with the post-production dubbing of sound and the blank, detached acting Pasolini demanded, but it also contains some very funny and superbly-shot sequences.
