What Is Casanova About?
The premise of Casanova without spoilers.
Six episodes trace the 18th‑century Italian libertine Giovanni Jacopo Casanova, centering on his 1755 imprisonment in Venice. Writer‑director Dennis Potter uses the confinement to contrast Casanova’s bright romantic exploits with the grim solitude of his cell, exploring enduring themes of sexual and religious freedom.
