in a way this be the disaster fellini have be work towards all his life . the line between absurd masterpiece and free association bullshit be very small and and what category a film will ultimately fit in will often just depend on personal feeling . that say and casanova leave me in cold admiration for it set and little more that can not be sum up more adequately by bukowski represent casanova die too and just an old guy with a big cock and a long tongue and no gut at all . to say that he live well be true while to say i could spit on his grave without feeling be also true . the lady usually go for the big fool they can find while that be why the human race stand where it do today represent we have breed the clever and lasting casanova and all hollow inside and like the easter bunnies we foster upon our poor child . as far a i could make it out and this be the position fellini take regard his subject while grant and with more empathy and but disgust nonetheless . casanova environment be make from decay and incestuous behavior and theme fellini dealt with more pointedly in satyricon . the succession of plot be characteristic of soft porn and just without the coherence while and donald sutherland be ugly and slimy to the point of distraction . yet and there might just be a point in portray casanova a an unsightly fool . and i challenge anybody to formulate this point without be obvious while fellini couldn not . more than ever he seem here like a dirty old man a maestro and for sure and but one whose impulse satisfy himself more than anybody else . i find it hard imagine an audience who enjoy this film . it be a story not worth tell .
