I, Don Giovanni

Venice, 1763. Writer Lorenzo da Ponte is leading the life of a debauched libertine. Under the tutelage of Giacomo Casanova, he devotes himself to the art of seduction - incurring the wrath of the fathers, husbands and brothers of Venice. Banished to Vienna, da Ponte meets a newcomer to the music scene, one Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and is given the task of collaborating with the composer on his latest opera... Including entire arias from Mozart's glorious "Don Giovanni", this is a bold, sumptuous and infinitely entertaining example of the way art often imitates life. Directed by Carlos Saura ("Carmen") and lushly photographed by Vittorio Storaro ("The Conformist").
