Casanova

In Casanova, a legendary handsome young man, able to seduce any woman, finally meets his match.  For the first time ever Casanova (Heath Ledger) is refused by a woman.  The attractive and tempting Venetian beauty, Francesca (Sienna Miller) turns down Casanova’s advances, something Casanova never expected nor thought was even possible.  Intrigued even more to win her over, Casanova gets ever closer to Francesca through a series of clever disguises and schemes.   But he is playing the most
