The eighth movie presented within the Fellini Retrospective organized by the Italian Cultural Institute in collaboration with Randwick Ritz Cinema on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great master of Italian cinema is Casanova (1976).

The retrospective, organised by the Ritz Cinema, immediately found the enthusiastic participation of the IIC who has engaged the expertise of Christian Pazzaglia to open the series and introduce six of the eight titles listed in the program.

Cast: Donald Sutherland, Tina Aumont, Cicely Browne, Carmen Scarpitta

Plot: The movie was adapted from the autobiography of Giacomo Casanova, the 18th-century adventurer and writer. Shot entirely at the Cinecittà studios in Rome, it portrays Casanova’s life as a journey into sexual abandonment. The narrative presents Casanova’s adventures in a detached, methodical fashion, as the respect for which he yearns is constantly undermined by his more basic urges.

The movie won an Oscar in 1977 for Best Costume Design.
