Trivia
Donald Sutherland, who wore a prosthetic nose and chin, shaved off the front part of his hair, once telling a laughing crowd "When Fellini says get a hair cut, you get a hair cut."

Goofs
Casanova says "I went to Holland, to Belgium, to Spain. In Oslo, I became seriously ill." But Norway's capital was called Christiania at the time; it did not adopt the name "Oslo" until 1925. And Belgium did not exist until 1830; that region would have been called the "Austrian Netherlands" or by the individual provinces of Brabant, Hainaut and Flanders.

Quotes
Giacomo Casanova: A man who never speaks ill of women does not love them. For to understand them and to love them one must suffer at their hands. Then and only then can you find happiness at the lips of your beloved.

A beautiful and melancholic film. I've seen it only now, in a special exhibition on cinema, for the first time. Worth the while. Funny, I also used to prefer the earliest Fellini, but this film makes me, at least in this case, rethink my position. It is clear, anyway, that after 8 1/2 he could only go this way - towards a progressive abandonment of any kind of mimetic "realism".

For those that find this film "strange", I suggest to start with the early Fellini (Lo Sceicco Bianco, La Strada. Cabiria) and go more or less in order, it will probably make more sense. Or not.
