Arthur Schnitzler

Leo Bernardi is a successful and acclaimed Italian director. He’s approaching the end of his career but he cannot accept his slow decline. He has just finished shooting his last movie and he’s deeply sad. The movie is inspired by the novel about Casanova written by Arthur Schnitzler, a character so similar to the director, even more than he could imagine. Schnitzler’s Casanova is aged, glory days are over: he lost his charm and his attraction to women, he’s broke and no more eager to travel through Europe. After a long exile, he just wants to go back to Venice, his homeland. While traveling home Casanova meets a girl, Marcolina. She reawakens his desire, lost for years. So, he tries to seduce her but that leads him to a tragic understanding: he’s an old man now. It’s not by chance that Leo Bernardi decided to tell this story right now, in a pivotal moment of his life and career. The destiny of both Casanova and his director leads them to a final confrontation.

Todo empieza cuando un marinero y una prostituta adolescente se encuentran por casualidad. Ese es el comienzo de Deseo, y a partir de ahí la cinta nos muestra a una serie de personajes típicos, propios todos de la sociedad mexicana. La película en realidad es una crítica mordaz a la sociedad de México, que está llena de prejuicios raciales y de clase, aunque esto creo que es algo común a la mayoría de las sociedades del planeta. Lo que la cinta nos quiere explicar es cómo debido a esos prejuicios el amor es casi imposible en México y lo que hay es sólo sexo sin amor, que está bien para un rato, pero que no es lo mejor para siempre. A pesar del halo de modernidad, en la cinta vemos como desde el siglo XIX hasta nuestros días poco ha cambiado en México, en donde la sociedad sigue siendo demasiado puritana.
