Fellinis Casanova Fellini's Casanova

Federico Fellini directs this Italian drama based on the life of 18th century author, scientist and romancer Giacomo Casanova. Opening in Venice, the story follows the famous lothario (Donald Sutherland) as he becomes the lover of a nun, a hunchback, a doll and a sorceress and is subsequently imprisoned for his misdeeds. After reminiscing of his past affairs in prison, Casanova travels around Europe where he continues to fulfil numerous conquests into old age but fails to achieve the respect he yearns for.
