Heath Ledger in Casanova: A Banyan Kept as a Bonsai
31 July 2020
Perfect casting of Heath Ledger as Casanova. But his magnificent voice and charming portrayal of the womaniser felt a bit too alone in this movie's embroil of a very poor script, extremely weak character inter-reactions and blasé humour architected with forced punchlines. The wannabe-deep concept of love which the movie tried to offer from the very beginning just went straight down the gutter with the shallow fate designing for the characters Victoria and Giovanni at the end. Costume, music, photography, individual acting of characters all were kinda okay (mostly). But, to me, the most sorrowful fact for this movie was not being able to unveil and use Heath Ledger's potentials up to the mark due to the joke of a script fueled by extremely poor character interactions.
