Review of Caligula (1979) by Michael F — 20 Jul 2008
It's a minor miracle that Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud (!), Gore Vidal (!), and Helen Mirren all worked again.
Seriously...One of the funniest movies of all time, marred only by some male-on-male fellatio in the uncensored version. Laughs a' plenty, then BAM!... Something like that suddenly gets burned into the retinas.
McDowell is 5x more over-the-top than in A Clockwork Orange, if that gives you any indication on what you're getting yourself into.
A $12 million dollar "porn with a plot"-- NEEDS to be seen.
