The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 57 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1969: an older pace and style.

Through the childhood and adolescence of Signor Giacomo Casanova (from his memoirs), this is a description of how people lived in 18th-century Venice: their customs, habits, medicine, religion, and--most of all--the omnipresence of hypocrisy.
