Description: Brand New Blu Ray Embrace the sexy, scandalously funny adventure Casanova on Blu-ray Disc. Starring Heath Ledger, the film Leonard Maltin calls "a rare delight" is a lusty feast for the senses in this rousing high definition format. After a lifetime of women falling head over heels for him, the legendary ladies' man (Ledger) falls hopelessly in love with the one woman who wants nothing to do with him (Sienna Miller)! Witness the beauty of 18th century Venice amidst a whirlwind of comic chaos in astonishing 1080p, and thrill to the clash of swords and the beating of hearts with 5.1 48 kHz, 16-bit uncompressed audio. See, hear and feel the passion with Blu-ray High Definition. A light farce dressed up as a lush 18th century costume drama, Casanova gives a fictional spin to the exploits of history's most rakish seducer of women. As played by Heath Ledger, this Casanova bears no resemblance to Donald Sutherland's unrepentant portrayal in Fellini's Casanova, filmed 30 years earlier. Instead, the great ladies' man of Venice is just biding time by bedding women, waiting for true love (and the return his long-absent mother) to settle down into blissful monogamy. He finds true love in Francesca (Sienna Miller), a feminist who initially resists Casanova's affections while director Lasse Hallström serves up a variety of lightweight subplots including Casanova's flight from the Vatican's inquisitor (Jeremy Irons); a host of mistaken identities involving, among others, the portly "Lard King of Genoa" (played with scene-stealing perfection by Oliver Platt in a blubbery fat suit); and the romantic negotiations of Francesca's mother (played by Hallströms wife, Lena Olin) and a young bumbler named Giovanni with his own promising future as a lover of women. It all adds up to a good-looking and harmless diversion that barely warrants an R-rating, and it makes a fine double-bill with the more enjoyable Dangerous Beauty, another Venetian lovers tale that was also blessed by the presence of Platt, who gives this Casanova the majority of its entertainment value. --Jeff Shannon Aspect Ratio : 2.40:1MPAA rating : R (Restricted)Director : Lasse Hallstrom Color, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen, AC-3, Blu-ray, Dolby, Dubbed Run time : 1 hour and 51 minutes Release date : January 23, 2007 Actors : Heath Ledger, Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons, Oliver Platt, Lena Olin Dubbed: : French, Spanish Subtitles: : English, French, Spanish Language : French (Dolby Digital 5.1), Spanish (Dolby Digital 5.1), English (Dolby Digital 5.1) Studio : Touchstone Home Entertainment Writers : Story By Kimberly Simi And Michael Cristofer, Screenplay By Jeffrey Hatcher And Kimberly SimiNumber of discs : 1
