In literally hundreds, even thousands of disguises - in music, opera, poetry, paintings, in novels and on the stage - Don Juan has had an astonishingly promiscuous life throughout the last 350 years of European culture.
As a figure of romance or rebellion, potency or pathos, both attractive and repellent, loved or reviled, Don Juan has always expressed the values of his age.
This film explores Don Juan 's origins in 17th-century Spain as well as his relevance today. Along the way, watch him, as Don Giovanni , both transformed into a New
York junkie and wittily appropriated by a subversive group of Mexican women. Film editor CHRISTOPHER SWAYNE Associate producer ANN HUMMEL Producer MIKE DIBB

The next problem is what to do with the mother in order to seduce Lolita....
