Directed by François Truffaut • 1977 • France
Starring Charles Denner, Leslie Caron, Nelly Borgeaud

In this bittersweet late-career charmer, director François Truffaut revisits his recurring themes of love and romantic obsession from a poignantly reflective perspective. Charles Denner stars as the titular Casanova, a lifelong womanizer who, as he sets out to write his memoirs, looks back on the myriad affairs that shaped his life. What emerges is an at once witty and melancholic portrait of a man both enthralled by and estranged from intimacy that stands as one of the director’s most personal works.
