House of 1000 Pleasures

Plot

Cast

Production

The film was a co-production between Medusa and Pink International Film. Loosely inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, its production started shortly after Pier Paolo Pasolini announced the similarly themed Arabian Nights. Davide Pulici from Nocturno described it as a film with a strange status: "on the one hand a copy of an idea [Pasolini], on the other an original and pragmatic model" of numerous rip-offs.

Release

The film was released in Italian cinemas by Medusa on 7 December 1973.

Reception

Italian film critic Marco Giusti wrote that, despite some "trash" elements, the film is "an extremely well-done decameronico, pursuing more the path of the fantastic than the erotic [...] with above-average special effects". Similarly, Nocturnos Davide Pulici described it as an above-average decameronico, both narratively, thanks to Dino Verde's involvement, and visually, due to rich sets, D'Offizi's virtuosistic cinematography and Margheriti's visual effects.
