Casanova

Vibrant costumes and gorgeous sets highlight this deliciously campy, tongue-in-cheek retelling of the classic story of the legendary Italian lover (Heath Ledger) who reluctantly agrees to a duel with a shy teenager (Charlie Cox) smitten with his comely neighbor (Natalie Dormer), dodges a resolute inquisitor (Jeremy Irons) looking for a lusty heretic, and impersonates a rotund, Genovese lard merchant (Oliver Platt) in his sincere attempt to woo the fiercely independent, forward-thinking daughter (Sienna Miller) of a cash-strapped widow (Lena Olin) in 1753 Venice.
