Alexandre Volkoff, 1927, France, 132 minutes
A visually lush superproduction starring Ivan Mozzhukhin and directed by one of the most important Russian émigré filmmakers, Casanova blends witty gags with epic scope and is as remarkable for its stylistic exuberance as its elaborate sets. The color-tinted print was restored by the Cinémathèque française.
