What separates Hallström’s film is its refusal to be cynical. The Libertine is a grim, scatological descent into syphilitic madness. Casanova is a rom-com. It acknowledges that the real Casanova was a complicated figure—a spy, a priest, a librarian, a man who wrote a 12-volume autobiography to ensure his legend lived on. But the film chooses to focus on the idea of Casanova: the man who believed that "the heart is the only thing that matters." casanova -2005 film-
