Storyline
In this film inspired by the ancient erotic and mysterious tales of Mid-West Asia, the main story concerns an innocent young man who comes to fall in love with a slave who selected him as her master. After his foolish error causes their separation, he travels in search of her. Various other travelers who recount their own tragic and romantic experiences include stories of a young man who becomes enraptured by a mysterious woman on his wedding day, and a man who is determined to free a woman from a demon.

This is not Disney stuff.Not at all for children. Pasolini had done an excellent job on this well-known Arabian myth.The most interesting part is the way Pasolini interprets the relation between masters/slaves,and men/women. It's an intellectual version of 1001 nights.
