Movie propaganda

He won every woman's heart. She won his.

He was the world's most notorious seducer. A swashbuckler, master of disguise and wit - it was said no woman could resist Casanova's amorous charms. Until now.

For the first time in his life, the legendary Casanova (Heath Ledger) is about to meet his match with an alluring Venetian beauty, Francesca (Sienna Miller), who does the one thing he never thought possible: refuse him. Through a series of clever disguises and scheming ruses, he manages to get ever closer to Francesca. But he is playing the most dangerous game he has ever encountered - one that will risk not only his life and reputation, but his only chance at true passion.

Theatrical report

Casanova is A knight's tale with more romance and less jousting. Well, on horses, that is. Heath Ledger is sensitive, passionate and sexy. Sienna Miller is fiery, passionate and sexy. Add to that some farce (in the theatrical sense: running around, mistaken identity, secret love), some gorgeous settings (all in Venice) and some beautiful costumes and you have a big heap of entertainment. It's all good fun!

(Just remember to not use the film as source material for your history project.)
