Il Casanova di Fellini

Donald Sutherland Director: Federico Fellini Federico Fellini

Overview

Federico Fellini chose to film this elaborate biopic of the famous titular lover entirely within the walls of Rome's Cinecittà Studios. The director shot the picture in English, hardly a language in which he was fluent -- and cast an enthusiastic Donald Sutherland as the title character. Nino Rota penned the score. Most prints of this film bear the title Fellini's Casanova.

Editorial Reviews

Fellini's Casanova is played by Donald Sutherland. The film takes great pains to debunk the myth of the Great Lover by presenting him as an ordinary human being swept up in extraordinary circumstances. This Casanova breezes through his various political and amorous adventures with an air of bored detachment, allowing the audience to "fill in the blanks" regarding motivations and emotions. Though the film's plotline hop-scotches all over Europe, Fellini lensed the picture entirely within the lavish confines of Rome's Cinecitta Studios. Danilo Donati won an Oscar for costume design, while Nino Rota (of Godfather fame) should have won for his musical score. A sumptuous visual treat, Fellini's Casanova is something of a chocolate Easter Bunny: delicious going down, but hollow on the inside.
