Archangel Gabriel and Mistress Goose

Archangel Gabriel and Mistress Goose 1965 Directed by Jiří Trnka Archanděl Gabriel a paní Husa

Taken from Boccaccio's Decameron, this lovely puppet film tells the bawdy story of the beautiful young Venetian lady who confesses her sinful passion for the Archangel Gabriel to a lustful monk, who promptly impersonates him in her bedroom with predictable results. Amidst the film's ribaldry, the hypocrisy and false piety of the monk are mercilessly mocked.
