I think it is obvious that the story should be treated as a fantasy of a young boy,
otherwise the sanity of the protagonists should be seriously questioned here.
But as a dream it is quite charming, the journey of the boy to the adulthood in the safe environment where everybody is friendly and supportive ( sometimes even a little too much).
And having Serena Grandi as a sensual guide it is a dream many would subscribe to.
There are plenty of funny moments in the historical ambient, actors wearing the clothes from the era and the copy I have seen was of a good quality, that should be enough to provide some entertainment.
The high rank notes are lowered by the incestuous topics, that does not fit for this genre of the movie.
Also, however it may be addressed to the novel, not the movie, the nickname young Don Juan is an abuse to the great literature protagonist who was everything, but a country retard.
Not like the English movie title is any better.
