I saw his Decameron not along time ago after all this years and I found it terribly outdated.
But the book was anyway always thousand time better.
Ah, Boccace!

I don't know what you mean by "outdated." Certainly, in the bawdiness factor, it's not. - tinear 14:42:51 05/02/07 (1)
He takes the stories as starting points for his own genius.
I think you may need to look again and, this time, don't expect a slavish retelling. Like all artists, including Shakespeare, he only is using the source as an inspiration.
The story of the criminal who became a saint is eternal, as is the one about the contemporary of Giotto, or the one about the poor man who landed in the septic tank full of shit.
For painting lovers, it's wonderful to see where PPP is referencing Michaelangelo, Rafael, Leonardo...

  Outdated is in this case, a film who feel & stick " smell like been made in his time.
  To be put in contrast to a film that never age.
  The stories are eternal.
  But this film not.
  Now let us see if there are others voices here in this Forum who think like you, or...like me...

The book remains a classic, of course... ever since you first open it at the tender age of ten.
Sometimes I too feel like serving G-d by putting the Devil in the Hell.
