SKINOPSISIn addition to all the rampant violence, orgies, beheadings, necrophilia, rampant gratuitous nudity and oodles of hardcore sex, this X-rated "prestige-porn" features Caligula fooling around with his sister (Teresa Ann Savoy), having a threeway with her and Helen Mirren and molesting her lifeless corpse. Talk about family values! The 3-disc version contains never-before-seen footage. -- Rick Stanko
3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM
REVIEW
No, this isn't an ersatz PBS documentary. Despite its prestigious cast, this controversial production manages to steer clear of most socially accepted standards of decency. But for those chagrined at having missed the decadence and excess of the Roman Empire, this X-rated epic is as satisfying as a day of debauchery. Before Rome. Before Gladiator. The most controversial film of all time as you've never experienced it before! Combining lavish spectacle and top award-winning stars, this landmark production was shrouded in secrecy since its first day of filming. The unprecedented special edition presents a bolder and more revealing Caligula than ever, with a beautiful new high-definition transfer from recently uncovered negative elements and hours of never-before-seen bonus material. From the moment he ascends to the throne as Emperor, Caligula enforces a reign like no other as power and corruption transform him into a deranged beast whose deeds still live on as some of the most depraved in history. Caligula is now available in the 3-disc Imperial Edition (packed to the gills with bonus material), as well as a single-disc unrated edition.
