Vincent Lindon and Stacy Martin star in 'Casanova, Last Love,' Benoît Jacquot's lackluster period drama about the infamous 18th century womanizer.
“Casanova, Last Love,” which looks at the famed 18th century philanderer’s infatuation with the supposed “one true love of his life,” is a dull and uninvolving portrait that, despite its sumptuous settings and costumes, never takes flight. sees Giacomo Casanova as a lover of womankind — a sort of “anti-Don Juan” who was as concerned with female friendship as he was with his partner’s pleasure. Unfortunately, in the movie, he comes off as a compulsive, untethered, charisma-free narcissist.
With only a few friends and contacts , Casanova works his way into London’s social circles and his share of louche activity, including a string of sexual trysts — paid for and otherwise. He’s presented as being catnip to women, partly because of his amorous reputation and storied charm, though in the hands of Lindon and Jacquot, his appeal is murky.
But the womanizer meets his Waterloo when he becomes obsessed with Marianne de Charpillon , a pretty, manipulative young prostitute with an abusive mother . Marianne, or “La Charpillon,” toys with Casanova’s affections and withholds sex, only to request he submit to a chaste, two-week “engagement” of sorts to earn the honor of consummating their relationship. He acquiesces, but it’s ill-fated and all goes nowhere — taking the movie down with it.
