    Fellini’s Casanova (1976)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Federico Fellini was never likely to turn the story of Casanova into a standard period drama and the resulting film – sprawling over 155 interminable minutes – is quite unique in its heavily stylised visual form and its strange and deliberately un-erotic tone.

    Fellini’s own dislike of the character means that Donald Sutherland is required to play the legendary lover as a ludicrous figure who only becomes sympathetic at the end when he attains a measure of self-realisation and is allowed to go off into the mists of history with a mechanical doll.

    It was a trying experience for Sutherland, who had to wear extensive makeup and shave his head, but his performance, for all the grotesquerie, is ultimately very moving.
