Review of Caligula (1979) by Steve E — 12 Mar 2009
OH MY GOD!!!! 137 minutes of pure decadence, depravation and perversion!
It was pretty disturbing, I mean, I know the romans were known for their orgies and insanity but I didn't need to see it so graphically displayed to know all that.
I saw the uncut version and I really don't know how much of the film could they cut to make an edited version, there were a couple of orgy scenes that were pretty long and so graphic (Oh God my eyes!! lol) that I'm sure didn't make it in the editing room.
Malcolm was superb as Little Boots, well, with those eyes, there was no one better to play the part of the insane Caesar than him.
Skipping the sex scenes that had nothing to do with the story, it was a very well done movie that reflected perfectly the decadence of an amazing culture.
