Fellini's best? definitely Sutherland's best Probably Fellini's most coherent and conventional film, it's the only one I can bear, and it's my pick as one of the best films of all time. The surreal nightmare world of Casanova's lost wanderings of the obscure cities of 15th century Europe comes alive and his willing enslavement to his own lust given free reign, in sex scenes which are only disturbing, could leave you wondering if you would be any different given the same freedoms. A scary and yet hauntingly beautiful and poetic film. Fellini's lush cinematography was never better. The best role of Donald Sutherland's career.
