      Aender S This film was a drag, I was glad when it hit the end. Too artsy-fartsy for my taste, even the great Donald Sutherland couldn't save it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Fellini produce un'opera goliardica e coraggiosa allo stesso tempo; esplosiva ed ironica. La scelta di girare tutto all'interno di uno studio di registrazione aiuta a mettere in risalto l'aspetto a cui viene data più attenzione in assoluto; i costumi (vincitori dell'Oscar); mentre rende piatte e mal riuscite le location. Il tutto si riassume quasi ad un'opera teatrale e la trama è suddivisa in diversi capitoli totalmente scollegati tra di loro. Coraggioso raccontare in maniera così esplicita un argomento come il sesso. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Felllini could do no wrong and Donald Sutherland's performance is outstanding. Yes, it's strange, it's Fellini. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It s very bad film. It doesn't makes sense. Don't go to film Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Casanova is not only the greatest achievement of Fellini, but one of the best film what i have ever seen. Like Citizen Kane, a deep and complex presentation of life, like 2001, rediscover the world around us, like Apocalypse Now, a dark expedition to the ontology borders of the human existence. The cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno, art director and costume designer Danilo Donati, and composer Nino Rota gave there career's best. Underrated when it was presented, and forgotten today. Everybody must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member this was a fantastic movie! it has everything i love!

      Gilbert Adair Sight & Sound Donald Sutherland commands a stunning array of gestures both precise and revealing...an extraordinarily physical performance and the gem of this flawed masterpiece. Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times The production is gigantic, but the ideas and feelings are small. Dec 11, 2017 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader As one of the late flowerings of the director's claustrophobic studio style at its most deliberately artificial, this is a memorable work, helped along by Nino Rota's music and Danilo Donati's Oscar-winning costumes. Dec 11, 2017 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) This film is so delicious, and so exuberant, that one doesn't know where to begin with it. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Gar Smith Berkeley Barb Fellini's Casanova is a cold, lugubrious film. A chilling undressing of myth. But at a cost of $7 million, four years and several lawsuits, it is still spectacular cinema. It is Fellini, which is to say this film is an opera for the eyes. May 12, 2021 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid More carnival than carnal. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
