Chaucer held no bars in these two tales. The Miller’s tale takes a more comedic and jolly approach, yet his tale still lays a plot thick with deceit, sin, and pleasure at someone else’s expense.

    Funny at first, smashing in the end. When I first saw the movie it was really bizarre as it was hilarious. I spent the first minutes laughing: the editing is fast paced and the voice over explains one after another different concepts that apparently are barely connected.
