(Mu) The greates story in the most simple way. The baptism of Christ by John the Baptist is my favourite scene, just the elementos, specially water and men and supposed sanctity. Pasolini sublignes the rage of Christ and finds a lot of biblic quotations, The deglamorization of the Hollywood bible films, is a must...

(Mu) Straight in the moral lesson tales path. Suzanne is so mistreated by a lousy boyfriend maniplating his friend (the moral conscience of the tale); that her happyness is a sweet revenge...

(Mu) Fantastic meeting of two fantastic sailors. The best part is the long intro with an arrogant 'Bruto like' Sinbad surrounded by his parafernalisa
