Review of Caligula (1979) by Rob C — 27 Feb 2010
Any film that showcases the realistic nature of any culture, time, religion, person, to the extreme; is very high on my list as an absolute great film. Caligula is one such film, with it's obscenely graphic theme, storyline and maniacal characters; it provides a healthy dose of "questionable" scenes.
Very harsh in it's depiction, Caligula showcases Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, in his sexual and perverse reign of Rome. This film does not skin any fat off the meat, it delivers it to you in whole.
You will love, shy away, or hate it; I applaud it. For the full experience this film has to offer, watch the "Unrated" version; Tinto Brass is genius.
