Movie Haiku:Opera-buffo played broad & light -- a visual & aural delight of absolutely no consequence beyond immediate enjoyment. Story, such as it is, concerns the misadventures of the infamous Venetian roué Giacomo Casanova (played sweet & smooth by Ledger) as he comes under attack by the Pope’s designated Inquisitor (Irons).
