Casanova (DVD, 2006)

I simply love this 2 chapter miniseries. Everything about this was excellant but the showstopper is David Tennant. He completely steals the the show with his vitality, sexiness, humor and charisma. Tennant is one of the most talented, bravest actors I have ever seen with the ability to go from funny to tragic often within the same scene. This is definitely an adult show and I wholeheartedly recommend it. It goes on my list of personal favorite DVD's and I will be watching it over and over. Check it out!

First of all, I am a huge fan of David Tennant, the current Dr. Who. I have be doing a little internet research to find out the movies he's been in. The first movie I came across was Casanova. So, I found a wonderful seller and I bought it! This is a great movie! Though I liked the Heath Ledger version, the David Tennant/Peter O'Toole version far exceeds it! It is not only funny, and romantic, and sad and...anyway, it's just great! The acting is superior and the dialogue is very witty. I think that David Tennant is very handsome and a great actor. This movie should not be missed!

I watched this movie on PBS, and enjoyed it. If you like the new Doctor Who episodes, you'll enjoy it. It has the same style and feel. It is how ever not written for childrens viewing it does have some very adult content.

David Tennant is BRILLIANT!! Funny movie throughout. I've watched it several times since buying it!! A+++!!

Fantastic acting by both Peter O'Toole & David Tennant, as well as the supporting cast. Fantastic locales, costumes and settings. Excellent miniseries. I loved it. It has many moments of humor and comedy and just the right amount of pathos. If you enjoy watching David Tennant as Doctor Who, you too will enjoy his portrayal of Casanova. First rate all around.

I am not a fan of Dr. Who, but I loved this series when it first aired on PBS. It has inspired me to seek out the real Casanova and his many adventures.

PBS's Casanova, Starring: David Tennant (harry potter & Doctor who) and Peter O'Toole (Lawerence of Arabia) in the title role, is absolutely wonderful. Written by Russell T Davies, of Doctor who fame, seamlessly flips from the past to the present in this wonderfullied played version of Giacamo Casanova's life.

David Tennant is charming, witty, and bright as the young casanova. While Peter O' Toole matches what he lacks in age to Tennant's performance. The supporting cast was carefully chose, and it shows. They help to make this Casanova story more then just infamous, but believable.

If you are a fan of David Tennant, you will no doubt want this dvd for your collection. If you are a fan of Giacamo Casanova, you'll find this adaptation close to the text. And if you are a fan of Master Piece Theatre, you will not be disappointed.

All-in-all, a great movie. If you can't sit and watch for 3/4 hours take it in strides. (it's broken into 2 parts) Though I highly doubt you will want to stop watching it after the first few moments....

'Casanova' was very enjoyable, with a great range of emotion and colorful scenes but would we expect any less from Russell T Davies and Masterpiece Theatre? An interesting blend of historical scenery, interpretive wardrobe and modern language, what could have been a disastrous combination actually worked in a very enjoyable, refreshing quirkiness. At times a racuous romp, others a tender love story, and even times of intense drama, the movie has depth and interest. The seasoned actors were all excellent. While there is no nudity, there is a great deal of sexual portrayal (It's Casanova after all!), so definitely not for children. I would recommend this movie for anyone who enjoys a thoughtful, interesting movie with tender storytelling.

It's a wonderfully fantastic movie. Peter O'Toole and David Tennant do an absolutely lovely job. The acting is superb and the story is wonderful. When watching, however, watchers have to remember there are two parts to the film, or else they will think the movie bad because they'll have seen only the first part as I did... The cinematography is very interesting and innovative. Overall, it provides great enjoyment and keeps the watcher very involved and very attentive to the story and plot-line. All of the acting is very well-done, and if you're a fan of David Tennant, he is wonderful, and this would be a lovely addition to your film collection.

I really liked this version of Casanova. He is painted as a rebel with a heart. David Tennant as the young Casanova and Peter O'Toole as the aged Casanova are a beautiful combination. If there is one flaw it is that David's lovely eyes are covered in blue contacts.

Everything that I hoped it would be. Brilliant actors and a wonderful story. David Tennant is brilliant in his role as the young Casanova. I highly recommend this movie.
