Il decamerone nero

Il decamerone nero (1972)

Five unrelated tales: (1) "The Ravishing Queen" / "La Reina Bella", in which the queen choses a king by devious endurance tests of the pretendants; (2) "The Punished Lovers", in which a fake blind husband is 'cured' after having the culprits banished from the tribe; (3) "The Old Prostitute" who manages to take revenge from all the village dignitaries who wrongfully condemned her brother; (4) "The Endless Search" that does not end until a hunter finds his perfect end-game; (5) "The Crazy Woman" whose illness was not exactly of the mind, but of an (almost) insatiable lust.

The Black Decameron is a 1972 Italian costume drama comedy film directed by Piero Vivarelli.

Background

An adaptation of five stories from the anthology Der schwarze Dekameron: Belege und Aktenstücke über Liebe, Witz und Heldentum in Innerafrika (1910) by ethnologist Leo Frobenius with a short final vignette, The Black Decameron is essentially a cross between Decamerotici films of the early commedia sexy all'italiana genre and Mondo films in featuring gratuitous pseudo-ethnographic nudity.

The Black Decameron was shot in the Province of Matera and in Senegal and it features, besides Beryl Cunningham who was the director's partner at the time, a multinational cast including Senegalese actors such as Djibril Diop Mambéty and Senegal-based Haitian actor couple Jacqueline Scott and Lucien Lemoine.
