Don Juan DeMarco (Jeremy Leven, 1995) is a fun, light hearted film about reality and fantasy, love and romance and creativity. It makes you stop and think about life and love. Johnny Depp is superbly cast as Don Juan and does an equally good job at playing him. His attractive features and sexy accented voice reinforce his heart throb image.
Marlon Brando may not be the sexy "wild one" he once was but he hasn't lost his old charm and delivers a believable performance of rekindled love along side Faye Dunaway.
The flashbacks in the film may be confusing at times, however the sets, costumes and music add to the romantic storyline. Bryan Adams' theme song for the movie, "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?", is more than appropriate underlining the mood of the film.
All in all a great love story carried by a fantastic and well suited cast, namely Depp, and intelligent themes expressed for the audience to ponder.
