Real Casanova, The

image

A biographical film for the Hidden Love series

Giacomo Casanova has long been hailed as a lustful beast who romped his way around Europe bedding as many women as he could. Although this reputation is well-deserved, it doesn't tell the whole story. Casanova was also a talented and charming cheat who consorted with figures across the social spectrum - from prostitutes and pimps, to kings, queens and popes. Casanova takes us back to the 18th century to explore the man behind the myth - a man who lived a life full of adventure, comedy and drama that raises many questions about the nature of human relationships and sexuality that are still relevant to us all today.
