Filmed on location in Vincenza, Italy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's operatic masterpiece, Don Giovanni, is translated to film by director Joseph Losey. Set in Seville in the 1600s, a young nobleman Don Giovanni is a well-known philanderer with a long list of conquests. After he attempts to seduce the beautiful Donna Anna, her father's battle to protect her honor ends in tragedy. Anna and her fiance Don Octavio pledge to seek revenge, while Giovanni continues to charm and trick the local women.
DVD, anamorphic widescreen.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent Performances and Scenery. The Libretto itself a bit laughable, but the music always divine. submitted by Tassos on January 20, 2022, 5:48pm After seeing this interpretation of Don Giovanni, with subtitles so we could understand the Italian libretto, and wisely taking advantage of the non-opera house setting in the city of VIcenza, I will look for other operas with similarly made DVDs.
