Half arsed history does an episode on him. It's a while since I listened to it but I recall there being a lot from his own writings alright but a non trivial amount that wasn't.

    If you ever want a trip watch Fellini's Casanova. It is a very different take.

    He portrays Casanova as less a lover and a rake, then as a nobleman who was dragged into unsavoury situations by the depravities of the aristocracy. It can be hard to watch sometimes as Fellini leans into the grotesque.
