Ubalda (Quel gran pezzo della Ubalda tutta nuda e tutta calda, 1972, Mariano Laurenti)

Explicit content warning

11/01/21 • 65 min

We're back and this time we are taking a dive into the world of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life. In this episode we discuss films based on the first in the trilogy, Il Decameron (1971) and its many imitators, in particular the film known to English-speaking audiences as Ubalda - All Naked and Warm. Yes, it's the one with Edwige Fenech in a chastity belt, so grab your skeleton keys and head back to the middle ages with us.

For more information on this Italian sub genre, which morphed into the highly successful commedia sexy all'italiana, this article is a very good primer and one we will be coming back to: “Canterbury Rides Again”... PASOLINI & HIS “DECAMEROTIC” IMITATORS

We would love to hear from you if you have any experience with the Decamerotici films. You can contact us on Twitter, Instagram, or by email at [email protected]

Previous Episode

Interview with author Matt Blake (Italians in Space bonus episode!)

We are very pleased to welcome author Matt Blake to the podcast for this special bonus episode. It was Matt's book Science Fiction Italian Style that inspired this whole podcast in the first place, so it was great to get to talk to him about his work and his love for European genre cinema.

Several of Matt Blake's books are available on Amazon in the UK and around the world so do check them out, particularly his latest book Spanish Cult Cinema, Volume 1: 1960-1964.

We would love to hear what you think about the podcast so far, and what you think we should cover in upcoming seasons. You can contact us on Twitter, Instagram, or by email at [email protected]

We're back for more Decameron-inspired shenanigans, as this time we travel to medieval Viterbo for a collection of ribald tales featuring cuckolded husbands, horny ghosts, frustrated brides and misplaced shellfish.
