Master Piece Theatre Casanova
1 of 1 found this helpful PBS's Casanova, Starring: David Tennant (harry potter & Doctor who) and Peter O'Toole (Lawerence of Arabia) in the title role, is absolutely wonderful. Written by Russell T Davies, of Doctor who fame, seamlessly flips from the past to the present in this wonderfullied played version of Giacamo Casanova's life.
David Tennant is charming, witty, and bright as the young casanova. While Peter O' Toole matches what he lacks in age to Tennant's performance. The supporting cast was carefully chose, and it shows. They help to make this Casanova story more then just infamous, but believable.
If you are a fan of David Tennant, you will no doubt want this dvd for your collection. If you are a fan of Giacamo Casanova, you'll find this adaptation close to the text. And if you are a fan of Master Piece Theatre, you will not be disappointed.
All-in-all, a great movie. If you can't sit and watch for 3/4 hours take it in strides. (it's broken into 2 parts) Though I highly doubt you will want to stop watching it after the first few moments....
