![]() Heath Ledger is a good substitute, but I would love to have heard that dialog coming from one of them. It's too bad that classically romantic players like Errol Flynn or Tyrone Power, Douglas Fairbanks,Jr., or Louis Hayward when we had them in abundance never took on Casanova as a role. Loose behavior is fine for the Renaissance, but now that we've got Protestants to contend with of all kinds, we'd better keep our own image intact, an image that Casanova is wrecking daily. The tales of seductions and conquests have been providing a lot of gossip fodder for the nobility, even the Doge of Venice is a fan of sorts.īut the current Pope isn't and he's sent one of his best Inquisitors in the person of Bishop Jeremy Irons to once and for all stamp out the heresy he's spreading. Only this time Casanova may have fallen big time for Sienna Miller who in her way is the 18th century version of a liberated woman, even having the temerity to attend the University of Venice in male garb.īut when you're Casanova by now you have an image to protect and a reputation to live up to. ![]() Immediately after getting an Oscar nomination for playing a repressed gay man in Brokeback Mountain, Heath Ledger went 180 degrees the opposite direction in being cast as Giacomo Casanova who along with Don Juan remains the last word in rampant heterosexism. ![]() ![]() Reviewed by bkoganbing 6 / 10 That Venetian Libertine
