Based on the plot of Euripides' Medea. Medea centers on the barbarian protagonist as she finds her position in the Greek world threatened, and the revenge she takes against her husband Jason who has betrayed her for another woman.

Inspirationen til Decameron er Giovanni Boccaccios (1313-1375) berømte litterære værk, hvor digteren har samlet hundrede folkelige beretninger fyldt med erotik og seksualitet. Af disse har Pier Paolo Pasolini udvalgt et antal historier, hvor han igen er på hjemmebane og satiriserer kirken, mens han giver et billede af mennesket i sin menneskeligste skikkelse. Pasolini har selv en rolle i filmen som den store maler Allievo Di Giotto. Denne kunstner var den første til at male i perspektiv med dybde på samme måde, som det tredimensionelle filmmedies dybde fungerer teknisk. Pasolini spiller med andre ord et historisk kunstnerisk bindeled samtidig med, at hans rollefigur binder filmens skrøner sammen.

Baseret på Robert Crumbs berømte tegneseriefigur er dette en så politisk ukorrekt film som det overhovedet kan tænkes og vi er tilbage i 72! At referere noget sammenhængende fra den er meningsløst, for det er et frontalt angreb på alle autoriteter og normalmoral og det er gjort med stor humor og megen energi. Mange sjove optrin og særligt Fritz der ordner den sorte ko er godt lavet. En provokerende men intelligent lavet satire over sen 60´ernes amerikanske liv og kultur samt forholdet mellem sorte og hvide, autoriteter vs. autonomi osv. osv. Se den!
