I realize that I gave this too many marks, but if there's anything I have realized about cinema, it can best be said by a line that I watched, performed by Jean-Louis Trintignant, where he stated (and I paraphrase), something like, 'I can't remember the movie, but I can recall my feelings', and that sums up nicely why I feel the way I do about the movie.

Does anyone else think that maybe Donald Trump modelled his 2020s image on Marlon Brando here? Anyway, Brando is veteran psychiatrist "Mickler" who is on the cusp of retirement and a contented life with his wife "Marilyn" (Faye Dunaway) when he is charged with evaluating a young man who has recently tried to commit suicide. It ought to be a straightforward enough job except he claims to be the eponymous, legendary, Lothario. Intrigued, "Mickler" decides he will try to get to know the fella (Johnny Depp) and evaluate him without putting him on medication. In best Cervantes style, "Don Juan" rega... continuar a ler.
