absolutely hilarious

by Lasse Hallström

This movie has a much more modern feel to it than Cyrano did: it’s more akin to Knight’s Tale than, say, Elizabeth or a Shakespeare, but the good thing is that this movie is also a lot better and funnier than any of the aforementioned films. The humor of Cyrano was subtle, Casanova is very obvious and in-your-face about it. Miller, Platt, and Olin all deliver in particular… interesting for me to watch because i’m a fan of Three Musketeers and Alias and also have Sin City on dvd. Ledger was also good: makes me want to see the Brothers Grimm more than ever and Ned Kelly again (though it definitely wasn’t as depressing as the latter or Lord’s of Dogtown). Definitely worth checking out.
