Description: The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign – he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of England before meeting an appropriate end. There are various versions of the film, ranging from the heavily- truncated 90-minute version to the legendary 160-minute hardcore version which leaves nothing to the imagination (though the hardcore scenes were inserted later and do not involve the main cast members).
Review: Well … Virtuoso erotic / pornographic genre, great writers, brilliant actors portray the British School took “Life and Strange Surprising Adventures” Roman tyrant. .. Well, how could they get something other than a masterpiece?
Talk about their strike one of Caligula’s meaningless. This film presses, striking the imagination of even the most sophisticated audience. Be prepared for you from the screen to pour all the dirt, filth and baseness of human nature. Be prepared no sympathy and no regret.
And be prepared to kneel before the maestro Tinto (famous director of huge number of erotic movies, like Paprika and Monamour), dared to make “serious picture frivolous genre” and thereby perpetuate itself in the history of world cinema.

Thanks. I’ve only seen the super heavily censored version Blockbuster used to stock. (Had scenes repeated to full time and everything.)
Very disappointing to my 12 year old self.

I’m composing a historic novel set inside 38 AD, throughout the reign of Emperor Caligula.I have to recognize where his palace was thus which I could properly put the key character’s house. I recognize which every emperor built their own palace, yet may discover no reference to his palace especially. Can anybody aid me?

I saw the film ‘Caligula’ with Malcolm McDowell plus there was an interview with him found on the DVD. The actor created a wise point regarding how you interpret historic texts. He mentioned Caligula had numerous enemies plus the history of his reign was created by folks whom were against him plus his direction. McDowell had a soft place for Caligula, plus interpreted his character because a young guy that inherited ultimate energy plus became idealistic, wanting to end corruption inside Rome by humiliating plus executing those inside significant positions. But, it really is moreover possible he was mad, or sadistic, plus that’s waht brought persons against him. Is there anyway to understand the truth regarding Caligula?
