Fellini's Casanova

by Federico Fellini

Made in 1974, Fellini's Casanova was Federico Fellini's most controversial film: criticized in the United States for being either too pornographic or too esoteric and praised in Europe for its sophistication and artistic glamour. Fellini himself considered his interpretation of the life of Giacomo Casanova to be his most complete, expressive, and courageous work. Fellini's Casanova is part of the Script & Director series - a collection of director-written screenplays, along with a script analysis and an essay about the director and the film that provide insight into the director's personal vision.
