Beverly Hills, CA: Produzioni Europee Associati [PEA] / United Artists, 1971. Collection of 17 vintage studio still photographs from the 1971 film, all issued by the film's first distributor United Artists. Includes 6 black-and-white stills from the Japanese release (between 1971-1973, though the actual date is not listed in IMDB), 7 black-and-white stills from the US release (December 1971), and 4 color stills from the US release.

The first film in Pasolini's Trilogy of life, followed by "Canterbury Tales" (1972) and "Arabian Nights" (1974), a light and sumptuous adaptation of Boccaccio's work, "The Decameron," replete with nudity, sex, and both slapstick and scatological humor. With a score by Ennio Morricone. The three films will be released as a set by the Criterion Collection in winter 2012.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus to Near Fine condition, with minor use.
