        The sea in the film was created from cut-up black trash-bags; Federico Fellini wanted to put high emphasis on the plasticity of Casanova's life and journey.
      • Quotes

        Giacomo Casanova: A man who never speaks ill of women does not love them. For to understand them and to love them one must suffer at their hands. Then and only then can you find happiness at the lips of your beloved.

      The saddest erotic film ever!
      Fellini's later works often get a bad rap as being overindulgent, but I think that seriously misses the point. Fellini was creating these wild fantasias to work out his dreams and obsessions. One of the themes he consistently retuned to was the price of erotic longing, and that theme has never been tackled better than in this film. Fellini's Casanova, as portrayed by Donald Sutherland, is a pathetic figure, vain and narcissistic, with little understanding of how is viewed from the outside. He quests after erotic conquest as if that meant something outside of his own obsessions. Fellini was clearly commenting on himself here with the unflinching eye he used to dissect himself throughout his career. A powerful work by a true genius with a career best performance from Sutherland.
