It's all terribly Masterpiece Theatre, slow and beautiful, only with more seduction scenes. The music, the costumes and the breathtaking cinematography (courtesy of Vittorio Storaro) will keep you happily engaged.

Rated: 3/5

Thankfully it isn't a pure opera. Still, it isn't delicate enough in narrative/writing.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Otra recomendaciÃ³n para melÃ³manos. Aunque habÃa leÃdo sobre la vida aventurera de Da Ponte, no habÃa atado cabos. Esta pelÃcula fue una sorpresa muy agradable.

Un film envoÃ»tant, rencontre de trois personnages charismatiques(Lorenzo da Ponte, Mozart et Casanova) crÃ©ant une oeuvre grandiose. Des acteurs excellents, de la romance, une belle mise en scÃ¨ne, multilingue et pleine d'idÃ©es, tout Ã§a sur fond d'une superbe musique! Du grand art!
