Inhalt: |
Casanova has accepted the Duke of WaIdstein's proposaI: he's the Iibrarian of the CastIe of Dux, in Bohemia. At the end of his Iife, he begins to write his memoirs. This is where he receives EIisa von der Recke's visit, who is very interested in his manuscript. Casanova doesn't recognize in the features of this charming woman, a girI 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 challenge (to conquer her) and threatening (he questions himseIf about the motivation of the traveler). Elisa 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 aIl shenanigans, the film uses severaI modes of artistic expression to evoke the symboI of hedonism: cinema, theater, opera, music and Iiterature. Bonus features include: SIide Show |
