Review of Caligula (1979) by Kevin R — 28 Jan 2012

Although I beleive the sets and wardrobe were all wrong for the times that doesn't matter. This film captures the zany antics that were Caligula pretty well from my readings. Of course many will argue, I enjoyed the story which got mst things more or less right I think. The acting was superb, Malcom Mcdowell after the part of Alex from Clockwork Orange was inspired casting. Yes it is easy to tell the scenes of sex which were added after initial filming, yes it is X-rated material but by today's standards it's tame.

This was so much more entertaining and spiritually enlightening than say The Passion Of Mel Christ. At least for me. Good show.
