But just when his problems seem to be solved, he falls in love with Francesca Bruni (Sienna Miller ), a feminist hundreds of years before her time, who - although she has never seen him - despises Casanova based just on his questionable reputation (www.cnn.com.....casanova/)
That's not the only hurdle Casanova has to overcome. Francesca's mother Andrea (Lena Olin ), for financial reasons, has arranged a marriage for her daughter to rotund merchant Papprizzio (Oliver Platt ), who is the king of lard in more ways than one (www.cnn.com.....casanova/)

Much of the plot is painfully obvious, but the good-natured screenplay by Kimberly Simi and Jeffrey Hatcher - along the light-hearted performances by all involved - make Casanova a delightful distraction that is worth seeing.

Giovanni Giacomo Casanova de Seingalt , 1725-98, Venetian adventurer and author. He studied for the church but was expelled from school for immorality. A life of adventure took him all over Europe . He supported himself by gambling, spying, writing, and, especially, by his power to seduce women, and his personal charm affected the foremost persons of his time. Arrested (1755) in Venice , he accomplished the notable feat of escaping (1756) from the "leaden roofs" of the state prison. In Paris, where he enjoyed favor in court circles, he became director of the lottery and amassed a fortune. In 1785 Casanova retired to the castle of Dux, Bohemia, where his friend Count Waldstein employed him as librarian. A man of learning and taste, with interests ranging from mathematics, poetry, and literary and musical criticism to commercial and political projects, Casanova left many writings. His memoirs, written in French , became world-famous. Only abridged versions were published until 1960, when the complete memoirs began to appear in French and in German translatio (www.encyclopedia.com....anova.html)
Ah, the words every respectable libertine dreads hearing. When Casanova gets that news, he's in the midst of seducing a succulent young newbie at the local convent. (Later, when an official charges him with fornication with a novice, he shoots back, "She's hardly a novice!") He beats a hasty retreat from the nunnery, scrambling over several colorful Venetian rooftops before ending up at the window of a nearby university, where he gets his first glimpse of the lovely and bodaciously intelligent Francesca Bruni (Sienna Miller ). She's disguised as a man (no woman is allowed to study at this august institution of higher learning ), and is just about to wow the crowd with her true identity . Casanova is, of course, destined to fall for her, but she's already engaged to Lord Papprizzio (Oliver Platt ), the Genoan "Lard King," whom she's never met. And Casanova is about to learn that he must marry or face expulsion from Venice , which leads him to pursue a petite, virginal beauty named Victoria (the wonderful Natalie Dormer, whose upturned nubbin of a nose suggests a flapper as painted by Fragonard (dir.salon.com..../casanova/)
Ledger's low-key wit works well here, although Miller, pretty as she is, doesn't have quite as much spark as her character demands. Omid Djalili , as Casanova 's faithful valet, gives a performance that's a model of elegant loopiness. And Lena Olin , as Francesca's mother, has some terrific scenes with Platt, who's never been better. He begins as a purely comical figure and ends up sexy-funny in the best way, a nicely padded pasha of sensuality. And then, of course, there's Irons, in that crazy half-Zorro, half-chorus-girl getup. He scowls and prowls through the movie like a cartoon Boris Karloff - we rarely get to see Irons having so much fun. "Casanova " works because it gives in to its nuttier impulses instead of fighting them. It's an absurdly joyous bit of fluff. (dir.salon.com..../casanova/)
I see many reviews that reflect our experience. Upon the recommendation of my husband's brother -in-law, we drove from Milano to Tuscana just to see San Gimignano -he also suggested Casanova di Piscille.
