Casanova

When Giacomo Casanova discovered Francesca Bruni, he met his ultimate romantic match, succumbing to the only woman ever to refuse his charms, until he could prove himself to be the one man worthy of her romantic ideals. Not only a dashing rebel and wit, Casanova is also a vulnerable man who is chasing after love as Bishop Pucci of the Inquisition chases after him. Caught up in a comic whirl of disguises, duels, deceit and love-struck desire, Casanova begins to see the vital difference between the allure of conquest and the power of true love.

Customer Reviews

The music is one of the actors.

As the movie opens, we approach Casanova (Heath Ledger) from behind as he is about to reveal a story that is not his to tell. Based loosely on the known history of Casanova, this play takes place and is filmed in Venice. It is one of those farces of mistaken identity and opportunity. Everyone did an excellent portrayal of the characters and the time. However, I must say I was very much taken by Victoria (Natalie Dormer), the Genoa virgin. I wonder how she makes her nostrils flare like that. And that was a cute scene when she broke the wooden bridge that was made just for that scene. Aside from the great music, much of it is original, and there are some beautiful panoramas and sunsets. And for those who like adventure or S and M, you will not be disappointed. There is even a scene with a real swinger.
