I don't know what is worse, Harvey Weinstein trolling for young female victims in the casts; or companies like Amazon kowtowing and killing of productions of directors like Jean-Pierre Jeunet who blocked Weinstein's predations in prior work.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the genius behind the"Casanova," was also the genius who created Amelie, A Very Long Engagement , Alien: Resurrection , The City of Lost Children and Delicatessen. Amelie was a Weisenstein production. After Weinstein was shut out of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet" it look like Weinstein was able to successfully "blacklist" Jeunet, with it seems, the cooperation of majors like Amazon -- and this critically acclaimed Casanova was the victim.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Casanova is visually stunning, sexy as heck, great dialogue and plotting. It would have made a perfect series.
