Synopsis
The final part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life series is rich with exotic tales of slaves and kings, potions, betrayals, demons and, most of all, love and lovemaking in all its myriad forms. Mysterious and liberating, this is an exquisitely dreamlike and adult interpretation of the original folk tales.

Cinematic Threads
Pasolini's Arabian Nights has been very important to me. Especially for its freedom and its structure, and the way it deals with time and space. Each story is an island within the overall story, and that was very important for Blissfully Yours.
