Sinopsis(1)
Era el seductor más famoso del mundo. El maestro del disfraz y del arte de la seducción, ninguna mujer se le resistía. Hasta ahora. Por primera vez en su vida, el legendario Casanova (Heath Ledger) está a punto de conocer a su horma del zapato, una belleza veneciana, Francesca, (Sienna Miller), que hace lo que hasta ahora nadie se había atrevido: rechazarle. Tras una serie de estratagemas y diversos cambios de identidad, Casanova consigue interesar a Francesca. Pero está jugando al juego más peligroso al que se había enfrentado hasta ahora, uno en el que no solo arriesga su vida y su reputación, sino también su única oportunidad de alcanzar el amor verdadero. En la película también podemos ver a Jeremy Irons, en el papel del Obispo Pucci, que persigue a Casanova esperando pillarle en pleno acto de seducción; Lena Olin como la madre de Francesca, y Oliver Platt como Papprizzio, el prometido de Francesca.

Inicialmente poco emocionante, una rutina envuelta en los acordes de la música clásica, con un Heath Ledger sin gracia. Pero a medida que el ritmo se acelera, los astutos nudos de guion se ponen en marcha y Jeremy Irons y Oliver Platt (¡sobre todo él!) entran en escena, la cosa empieza a calentarse y la película se convierte en una comedia moderna muy entretenida, casi bobalicona, repleta de chistes modernos. El director Lasse Hallström sobresale, con Irons y Platt exponiendo a sus personajes en posiciones caricaturescas. Sin duda, un gran álbum de recuerdo para el equipo de un rodaje muy feliz.

I would never have believed, but Hallström took on this unusual and joyful subject with the same bravado as Casanova took on women. A light-hearted and irresistibly playful film with a great ensemble of actors. It doesn't try to make the viewer laugh at all costs with cheap humour, but just pleasantly winks at them "Look how I don't take myself seriously at all". Fat Platt, the women in period costumes, the pleasant classical music and the atmosphere of 18th century Venice are to die for (I don't mind the weaker special effects some users here complain about). Perhaps it's just that Ledger lacks the right sparkle that the most famous seducer of women of all time should have, and wouldn't hold up compared to some of his acting predecessors.

You might think that sumptuous historical adventure movies like this are a thing of the past. Hallström’s Casanova will put you straight on that. It is not flawless, for instance crucial scenes are almost ridiculous at times, while having a certain undeniable charm mainly thanks to the wonderfully captured atmosphere of Venice. Heath Ledger is surprisingly convincing in the Belmondo-type role, Sienna Miller is enchanting and when the Platt/Irons duo appears, perfection moves in.

Lasse Hallström's Casanova is from the family of films like Svend Gade and Heinz Schall's Hamlet. While in the 1920s the creators were searching for a female version, the new Casanova has become "just" a portable reputation that can be attributed to two different men. Fortunately, this new interpretation is presented as a light comedy with gorgeous costumes, a love of Venice, and some charming ideas. In addition, the beautiful Natalie Dormer made her debut here, and now you can consume her as much as you can. Lena Olin's love for huge men is spicy in and of itself, so in this regard, it’s also not up for debate. The new Casanova will appeal to anyone who doesn't despise classics updated for each generation, such as The Three Musketeers.

A historical fizzy fun drama, where the actors have a good time, the writers are quite brilliant in places and the cameraman shows us panoramas of Venice. Hallström's affectionate, almost familial style of directing is undeniable, but the second half pulls the whole thing into a kind of slightly bizarre, modern gag-riddled historical parody, dominated by Irons, Platt and the consistently horny, not yet well-known Natalie Dormer. It’s fun for one time, but don’t expect anything revelatory.

Esta comedia renacentista alegre y traviesa resultó muy exitosa. Contribuye a ello el alto número de actores famosos, la trama divertida y situacional, y la considerable energía positiva que se irradia hacia el espectador durante toda la obra. Jeremy Irons como el supuesto cruel e intimidante inquisidor fue fantástico.

Seeing Heath Ledger in such a role is simply fantastic. He is full of life, he is great, he is relaxed and you can always see what a fantastic actor he is. Lasse Hallström is one of my favorite directors because his movies always manage to caress my soul so pleasantly that I feel content and the world looks a little prettier again.
