I went to see Heath Ledger in Casanova last night for Valentine's night as there was a special showing. Having seen Heath in Brokeback I was interested to see how he conveyed the character here. Well, he was far more foppish and camp than his cowboy and must have just glided through the film. He said himself it was a doddle after the intensity of BBM and it shows...hardly any acting required. The film is humorous, it has some good moments but hardly conveyed the lifestyle of Venice's celebrated Lethario. Having once lived in Venice, it was nice to see it transformed to 1753, but Heath must be laughing up his sleeve.
As usual in every other film made, everything turns out for the best and we know that everyone will get the person they are supposed to be with. Sienna Miller does a good job with her role, but I'm sorry, the only REAL kiss I've seen on screen is between Heath and Jake Gyllenhaal.
