Mr. Bongo Films have announced the UK DVD release of Italian cinematic maestro Federico Fellini's 1976 film Casanova (Il Casanova di Federico Fellini) starring screen stalwart Donald Sutherland as the legendary lothario.

Based on the memoires of Casanova, Fellini's version of the story is one of rare visual daring and imagination. The film features a remarkable performance from the sultry Sutherland as the original playboy in his latter days as he travels through Europe engaging in a variety of amorous adventures.

Featuring a compelling score by long-standing collaborator, Nino Rota and garnering an Oscar for its costume design by Danilo Donati, Casanova is often seen as the directors' nostalgic paean to a bygone era of classic Italian cinema.

Casanova will be released on UK DVD on 17th May 2010 by Mr. Bongo Films at the RRP of £12.99. No extra features have been announced, which is a bit of a shame given the interview with Sutherland included on Fremantle's 2005 2-disc Special Edition.
