Re: Three hours of glorious hallucination and imagery fireworks - Fellini's Casanova

Very nicely put!

I haven't seen the film in many years, but I did make it a point to see it two or three times when it was new.

It's a film that is at once was wonderfully imaginative and wide-ranging -- almost dreamlike -- yet almost unrelentingly direct in its quest to apprehend the nature of eroticism and passion.

Yet, those looking for taut drama and consise dramatic development may be disappointed. As you say so eloquently, it's a film that has to be approached on its own terms. Fellini's Satyricon, certainly a different film, is similar to the Cassanova in this respect, at least in my mind.
