The movie
Mozart’s opera in lush sets: Don Giovanni, the infamous womanizer, kills Donna Anna’s father. He is then chased by Donna Anna’s fiancé, Don Ottavio, as well as Donna Elvira, one of his former conquests. But the real threat lies elsewhere.
Joseph Losey’s remarkable adaptation of one of Mozart’s most famous operas.
