Movie Reviews of Don Juan DeMarco
Movie Review: Don Juan Done Wrong
Summary: 1 Stars
Don Juan DeMarco was delivered by a supreme group of successful artists: Marlon Brando, Johnny Depp and Faye Dunaway, including a cameo appearance from singer, Selena Perez. Yet, this movie failed, for me, to be the outstanding production that it could have been.
Marlon Brando (Dr. Jack Mickler) is a mental health therapist caught up in his own needs related to the twilight of his career and hum-drum, long time marriage. In some way, that is not tightly woven into the plot, Brando is re-energized by his counseling of Johnny Depp (Don Juan DeMarco)who believes that he is the world's greatest lover.
Faye Dunaway (Marilyn Mickler) then becomes a beneficiary of Don's sexual explotations as Dr. Jack over-identifies with some of the lover's behaviors and brings these new life fantasies into the Mickler's bedroom. The movie ends with the key characters positioned on the beach against an emerging sunset. It is to somehow represent a win-win victory. Don Juan is cured of his obsession with being the lover of all time, and the Mickler's have resolved their fear of losing a lifetime of being lovers.
Don Juan DeMarco was done all wrong--except for the casting. Direction was poor; filming and photography were lack luster, costume design was ho hum. Given the bonanza of artists involved, Don Juan was a waste of creative capital. The movie's director, Jeremy Leven had the human investments necessary for a jack pot production. Jeremy Leven had the intellectual cash in-hand...but blew it !!!
