Inhalt: |
Casanova has accepted the Duke of Waldstein's proposal: he's the librarian of the Castle of Dux, in Bohemia. At the end of his life, he begins to write his memoirs. This is where he receives Elisa von der Recke's visit, who is very interested in his manuscript. Casanova doesn't recognize in the features of this charming woman, a girl he had seduced in the past and who had wanted to die for him. The arrival of EIisa is both stimuIating, the opportunity to start a new chaIlenge (to conquer her) and threatening (he questions himseIf about the motivation of the traveler). EIisa raises in her host both a burst of carefree Iife and the lucid weariness of a tired body that fears death. Hymn to freedom and to all shenanigans, the film uses severaI modes of artistic expression to evoke the symbol of hedonism: cinema, theater, opera, music and literature. Bonus features include: SIide Show |
