Product Description

Screen adapatation 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. High drama, hysterical comedy, magnificent music!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2018

I've waited since this 1st came out as a movie to have a decent reproduction of this performance (saw it 5 times). One may critique any number of aspects of the production &/or the video/audio quality as being short of perfection, not to one's taste, etc. However, the reigning superiority of this Don Giovanni lies in its sensibility: one may call it multileveled in social critique, of its own period &, more subtly, of ours; & its simultaneous acceptance of & sympathy with the very cultural dynamics, then & now, that Losey & his collaborators express here, cinematically. Again, given all comparisons, the music, voices, acting & directing are here at the highest level, & do not disappoint. The "messages" of lush visual as well as sonic beauty are woven into the opera's classic conflicts of love, pride, hope, anger, outrage, happiness, fear... Especially, the embodied tension in Raimondi of amoral erotic domination with a noble, dauntless courage, long noted as inherent in the Don, is presented with overtones of dissipation that reflect not just his personality, but his culture - & ours. By now a cliché, setting the opera within Palladio's architecture, as well as the open
Italian countryside, is still an unsurpassed framework for da Ponte's plot, & its incomparable realization in the music of Mozart at his peak. In opera
& ballet, more than other performance art, the supporting elements of setting, light, costume & gesture (embracing, laughing, dueling...) can, so to
speak, make or break the work. Here, all these combine brilliantly. Finally, in voice & acting: van Dam's Leporello is faultless in comic protest & critique; Berganza's Zerlina, likewise; Kiri Te Kanawa -always divine? - I once heard her very slightly miss a note (sharp) at the Met, & it almost brought a tear, as it made her actually seem mortal; Edda Moser quite wonderfully sings her passionate uncertainty about whether outrage & propriety are really enough to counter the force of Eros; Malcolm King was a wonderful surprise, raising Massetto above personality to a humble(d) force for justice; Kenneth Riegel defined Don Ottavio as both pure in voice & so pure in motive & devotion that he, even then, while not at all ridiculous, seemed almost out of place within the conflicted aristocratic standards he faced; & John Macurdy convincingly avoided presenting Il Commendatore as either a superstitious fiction or mere puritan avenger. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Any man who is faithful to one is cruel toward all the others"..

"Any man who is faithful to one is cruel toward all the others", casually retorts the reckless libertine Don Giovanni to Leporello (his man servant) when asked why trouble yourself to decieve them all (referring to Don Giovanni's conquest's). As master seducer and unrepentant purveyor of loose morals, Ruggero Raimondi as Don Giovanni brilliantly breathes life into Mozart's and Da Ponte's timeless masterpiece.

Having been fortunate enough to have seen various stage adaptations performed internationally throughout the years, I can honestly say Joseph Losey's film adpatation of this operatic classic is perhaps the best most realistically engaging version i've seen to date. Vast scenic Italian villa countryside vistas with splendid venetian backdrops, so palpable that one could almost feel the moring dew and warmth of the rising summer sun along with Donna Elvira (one of Don Giovanni's recent conquests) as she strolls along the villa gardens. No less flabbergasted and shocked as she is, when Leporello reads off the vast number of the Don's romantic conquest's, we too are taken aback;

(He basically says):

""You are not the first and will not be the last"
"The Master (Don G.) has had women in every town, village, land, and country."
"Italy 640"
"Germany 231"
"France 100"
"Turkey 91"
"Spain 1,003"

"Peasant girls, Maids, Servants, Wives, Sisters, Daughters, Countesses, Baronesses, Marquises , all sizes, shapes, ages, rich, poor, beautiful, or ugly, it doesn't matter.......the Master has had them all."

Unknowingly, we too have succumbed to the seductive charms of this licentious lothario for a full 176 mins (DVD /Movie length) and Losey, being the brilliant creative cinematographer that he is, provides a visually stunning perspective on a classic narrative we are sure to always cherish and remember.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lush pleasure from extra fine blu-ray
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2013

The report that people must want is for the 2013 blu-ray disc quality. It is excellent. It's so magical that you have no chance to resist it. A non-opera nut passing by would stop. I have a fine video & sound system and the vision and sound caused zero disappointment. What, 34 years old? Technically, it looks new. It is so classically fine that it is hard to imagine such a project could happen now. The sound is excellent the Paris Opera orchestra is perfect. There are large numbers of people on screen at times... all looking real. The boat operators, glass blowers and intimate details of life had to be real. For example, I don't think that I have ever seen such elegant food storage in a kitchen on screen. I once worked in a restaurant that inspected each piece of fruit and stored it individually. They were famous for perfection. The humanity includes amazing beauty, a lot of it. The costumes are over the top perfect. You will be drawn into the sets. The sound of birds is a major component, as is the sound of water and rain. All of the singing is wonderful. There is elegance on the screen from first second to last. I have several versions of Giovanni, this moves up to favorite. English subtitles are very good, but I think I may go seat of my pants... without next time. I have several Olive films blu-ray discs, and I have been happy with them all. This movie is the one to use to infect others with the opera bug, but hard core old timers will love it as well. (On the star system... 5 stars. All my reviews are 5 star or 1 star. Don't write unless I love it or hate it.)

I think this is as good a Don Giovanni as you could hope for. Costuming and staging is appropriate and the acting is first rate. The singing is also excellent . A good choice for a basic Don Giovanni.
