Screen adaptation of Mozart's greatest opera. Don Giovanni, the infamous womanizer, makes one conquest after another until the ghost of Donna Anna's father, the Commendatore, (whom Giovanni killed) makes his appearance. He offers Giovanni one last chance to repent for his multitudinious improprieties. He will not change his ways. So, he is sucked down into hell by evil spirits. The film has generally been praised as one of the finer adaptations of opera to the big screen. The movie was re-released on DVD in 2008.
Director: Joseph Losey
Argument: Wolfgang A. Mozart' Opera, screen writing: Lorenzo Da Ponte.
Director of photography : Carlo Fisher, Gerry Poletti
Mozart performed by: Orchestra de l' Opera de Paris.
…The genius of Losey's film is that he was so successful at visually complementing Mozart's great music. I love the way the singers are always shown in varied and interesting places, from the interiors of villas with murals and statuary to exteriors featuring fascinating architecture to gondolas moving through water. Although there are some beautifully composed shots, they're never held for long. Typically there are long takes as the camera fluidly follows the singers as they move around during melodic passages. In short, the film is a visual delight, and what's more, it's shot and edited to fit the music and story.
The DVD version of "Don Giovanni" looks and sounds terrific, and I give it my highest recommendation.
