...charmer for whom his fans have been waiting. It's a very Disney Casanova, with minimal sex and maximal caper (Hot-air balloons! Masked balls! Duels! Mistaken identities!). Ledger, who plays the legendary lover, opposite Sienna Miller, is not too proud to admit that the appeal of the movie lay more in a 120-day shoot in Venice, where he could unwind from Brokeback, than in any nuances of script (although the part is deceptively hard, given the number of identities Casanova assumes).

The authorial voice vanishes in the elegant telling of his tale. Do not search these pages for a final judgment of Rousseau. There is none.But there is a very descriptive account of the man’s life. Rousseau was born in 1712 when Geneva—now Switzerland’s second-largest...
...this caliber is on display, clarity is preferable to authenticity. Authenticity isn’t something Oldham has to worry about any longer. “Summer” proves that his sound can hold up in the proving ground of country music: the southeast. Oldham can now truly lay claim to the musical lineage as Gram Parsons, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams. What a difference one summer can make. —Staff Writer Bernard L.
