She is Francesca Bruni (Sienna Miller), a proto-feminist who believes love is a myth invented by men to get what they want. Disguised as her brother to attend university lectures, she is everything Casanova has never faced: a woman who is not charmed by him.
But even legends grow weary. His faithful valet, Lupo (Omid Djalili), warns him that the Doge’s inquisitors, led by the terrifying Pucci (Lena Olin), are building a case. “You have seduced every woman of standing in Venice,” Lupo says. “Pucci will burn you at the stake for ‘impious lewdness.’” The only escape, Casanova realizes, is marriage—a respectable, dull, permanent marriage.
She crosses her arms. “You lied to me. You wore a mask.”
