Infanzia, Vocazione e Prime Esperienze di Giacomo Casanova, Veneziano (1969)
Country: IT
Technical: Technicolor 118m
Director: Luigi Comencini
Cast: Leonard Whiting, Senta Berger, Tina Aumont, Lionel Stander, Wilfrid Brambell
Synopsis:
An evocation of the youth and apprenticeship of the famous lover before he became infamous.
Review:
A treatment wholly different from that of Fellini, who starts roughly where this film leaves off, this film pays much attention to the not always glamorous realities of 18th century Venetian life and gives a de-mythicized portrait of Casanova's youth in which his future is barely foreseeable. Its length is especially frustrating when one realizes that it is going to end just as the fun begins.
