A young man buys a slave in an Arabian market and falls in love with her. She is abducted and while pursuing her, many erotic tales are told to him. This Pasolini's version of `Arabian Nights' is very reasonable, but I do not understand how this movie won a special prize in Cannes 1974. In my opinion, it is a forgettable film, highly recommended for the gay community due to the quantity of scenes with frontal male nudity, but which deserves to be watched once, because of the `trademark' Pasolini. The location where it was filmed is the best this movie can offer. In Brazil, this movie is not available on VHS or DVD; I saw it yesterday, on cable television, in a Pasolini's festival along this week. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): `As 1001 Noites de Pasolini' (`The 1001 Nights of Pasolini)'
