Trivialidades:

When Casanova is running away from the Inquisition in the opening scene he jumps through a window and into the University of Venice. The University of Venice never existed and the building he jumps into is in fact the "Theatro Olympico", one of the first Renaissance theatres- and 140 kilometers away from Venice.

Errores:

Anacronismos: In one long shot of Venice at sunset, the viewer can clearly see contrails in the sky caused by passing jet planes.

Citas:

Lord Papprizzio: You see that trunk over there shaped vaguely like a salami?
Fulvio: Yes...
Lord Papprizzio: Well, it's filled with salamis.

Great fun; witty, funny and great performances

I saw the film earlier this week with friends at a preview. Surprisingly there was not a large crowd. However, that was not the only surprise. The film itself was a surprise. Heath Ledger, not as handsome as usual, was lots of fun, however, as Casanova. Oliver Platt takes some physical risks in this role - if you consider partial nudity a risk for a man Platt's size and shape. All of my friends enjoyed the film. I wasn't expecting the film to be such a romp! It was very successful at being funny! I attribute to Verdi's Don Giovanni. There is even the comic relief of the side kick, Leperello. The plot has a few surprises, and everyone in the film has a good time, except for maybe Jeremy Irons. Lots of fun!
