Review of Caligula (1979) by Walter C — 24 Sep 2008
Infamous movie based on the rise and fall of Gaius Germanicus Caligula.
I watched the unrated version with all the hardcore action thrown into the mix. So, it was either like watching a porn movie with a plot or a historical drama that happened to have a handful of hardcore sex scenes in it.
Funny thing is that I found this in the classics section of the video store I rented it from. That's right. This thing was sitting beside Citizen Kane and Cassablanca and I wish I was making that up.
Anyway, this movie was just boring to watch. Sure it's full of stuff that was meant to shock (one example: Malcom McDowell fisting a groom) but, I was bored and uninterested in what was going on.
It's not awful. If I didn't find it sooo boring, I'd say it was mediocre . . . maybe.
