Ever wondered if a classic tale could be reimagined with a modern, youthful twist? Prepare to be intrigued, because "Virgin Territory" fearlessly embraces the spirit of "American Pie" while drawing inspiration from the timeless "Decameron."
Directed by David Leland, "Virgin Territory," also known as "Decameron Pie," is a 2007 romantic comedy that loosely adapts Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron." The film stars Hayden Christensen, Mischa Barton, Tim Roth, Craig Parkinson, and Rosalind Halstead. Set in 14th-century Tuscany during the Black Death, it follows the adventures of young Florentines seeking refuge from the plague, but unlike their literary counterparts, these characters aren't just telling stories; they're living them.
