Review of Casanova

Casanova (2005)
1/10
Horrid piece of crap
3 November 2006
Good Lord! Cassanova was actually an historic figure who knew many of the illuminati of his time. He was known for a lot of things (including inventing the national lottery in France), not just womanizing--his recollections of which may have been influenced by the advanced age at which he wrote his memoirs. This nasty piece of HollyMush has nothing to do with Cassanova, but sort-of-resembles the Don Juan story--badly. Why even call it Cassanova, then? Lets not subvert real history. (I betcha Cassanova was also "actually an American" and all of Italy is "really California," too!) The real Cassanova is actually quite fascinating, and there is an actual story involving passion, a real jailbreak, and life among the debauched upper classes of Europe.
