In an astonishing piece of screen acting, Donald Sutherland (Donít Look Now) portrays Casanova in his waning days, travelling from a bubonic-plagued Venice to a syphilitic London via a tubercular Germany, engaging in various

amorous and political adventures with an air of bored detatchment. Imbued with a romantic pessimism, the film debunks the myth of Casanova as a great lover and instead presents him as an ordinary man swept along by extraordinary circumstances.

Featuring a compelling and complex score by Felliniís longstanding collaborator Nina Rota, Felliniís Casanova also boasts Oscar® winning costume designs by Danilo Donati. Filmed entirely on the lavish soundstages of Romeís Cinecitta Studios, the film is also popularly viewed as the directorís elegiac farewell to a bygone era of Italian cinema.
