获柏林电影节评审团大奖。影片取材于意大利文艺复兴时期薄伽丘的著名小说集《十日谈》，帕索里尼从中挑选了8个（亦有说10个）发生在那不勒斯等意大利南部地区的故事进行拍摄（原著中以佛罗伦萨地区故事为主），这些故事大多以揭露教会虚伪丑恶本质为宗旨，并鲜明地表现了作者对人性解放的肯定态度。 原著《十日谈》是意大利文艺复兴时期最重要的文学作品之一，它以十四世纪黑死病横行的时期为背景，通过十位青年所讲述的一百个故事，大胆鞭挞了当时天主教会的种种丑行，表现出平民阶层追求自由、摆脱宗教束缚的渴望。这部现实主义风格明显的作品堪称欧洲古典文学的杰作，被后人誉为和但丁《神曲》齐名的" 人曲"。 意大利新现实主义影片后期崛起的导演帕索里尼，延续了自己六十年代以古代神话题材警醒当今世人的创作路线，以相对通俗化的手法连续改编拍摄了《十日谈》、《坎特伯雷故事》和《一千零一夜》三部古典名著影片，合称"生命三部曲"。因为这三部影片中裸露镜头较多，又采用了较为通俗的娱乐片路线，有的电影学者也称之为帕索里尼的"色情三部曲"。对此帕索里尼本人阐述了自己的创作观点："我向观众表现的是整个世界，封建的世界，在这个世界里，情欲极其深刻而狂热地起着支配一切的作用。……我要推出这个世界并且说：你们可以比较一下，我要向你们表明，我要向你们诉说，我要向你们提醒。"

Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career. Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.) As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played. The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument). Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
