Casanova Sucked
I saw Casanova over break and it was such a bland movie that I decided it was not worth mentioning. However, it had one upside, which Stanley Kauffman captures perfectly in The New Republic,
It must be a fluke. It could hardly have been planned, in the dank entrails of the film business, that Casanova should be made and released in time to emphasize Heath Ledger's performance in Brokeback Mountain. Fluke or not, the conjunction is a boon, because the only imaginable excuse for Casanova is that it adds luster to Ledger.
