This is a hugely enjoyable, stylish, witty retelling of the Casanova story. As it was written by Russel T Davies it goes without saying that the script is fabulous and the story cracks along at a wonderful pace. David Tennant is utterly faultless as a funny, likeable and very human Casanova, quite unlike the roistering, wham-bam beefcake image of Casanova we've been used to. A total triumph. You must buy this.

I loved Casanova when it was on BBC and had to get the DVD set to relive it. The opening theme music is fab and the whole colour and spectacle are wonderful.
There is some fab acting - I wasn't a David Tennant fan before this but certainly was afterwards! Peter O'Toole is wonderful (if slightly creepy) as the older Casanova.
Beautiful. Fun. Unmissable.

Russell T Davies writing. David Tennant and Peter O'Toole acting. What more persuasion do you need? One of the most uplifting, dazzling and colourful television dramas ever made, but it pulls at the heartstrings too. Pretty much impossible to fault!
More heartless, witless Tripe by Russell T Davies

I really went into this wanting to like it, but when I realized he was the writer I wasn't expecting much, and that's what I got. I LOVE the cast, and the original diaries this is based upon. OTHER THAN THAT, it was nausiating fluff with no nudity, no substance and no interest for me anyway. Maybe I'm just bias from watching the BRILLIANT Fellini version or the more acurate Dennis Potter TV movie from 1972 which had MUCH more sex, nudity, violence heart, wit and substance than this 30 years later.
The Most Beautiful Thing I Have Ever Seen

After sitting at my labtop for around twenty minutes trying to decide the best way for me to tell you how amazing Casanova is... I decided to summerise it in a single sentence.
Indescribably enjoyable, a very powerful masterpiece and simply the most beauiful thing I have ever seen.
