Carry on Casanova; like a series of dirty postcards painted by a Titian or a Carravaggio and with a (badly) dubbed Donald Sutherland as the great lover, "Fellini's Casanova" is another magnum opus from the maestro that takes him further and further away from reality into an admittedly beautifully heightened series of tableux to tell Casanova's story while another gallery of gorgeously costumed giants, dwarfs and eccentrics hover around him. It certainly looks the part but is impossible to take seriously and at over two and half hours seems to go on forever making you long for the Fellini of old; "La Dolce Vita" has a lot to answer for.
