Caligula: The Ultimate Cut
45TH ANNIVERSARY! Decades after first polarizing the world with an uncensored tale of perversion in ancient Rome, CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT features an unprecedented amount of never-before-seen footage. The story of Caligula, who seizes power and begins to dismantle the Roman Empire from within, this notoriously decadent film can be considered in a whole new light after being painstakingly reassembled following its tortured initial release. Starring Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud and Helen Mirren.
A legendary cult classic long thought lost, CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, far removed from the artistic quarrels of director Tinto Brass, writer Gore Vidal and producer Bob Guccione. Producer Thomas Negovan approached this new version from a neutral perspective and a desire to elevate the actors, giving greater strength to the narrative and providing a fresh understanding of Emperor Caligula’s madness. Not a single shot from the original version was used here, which makes CALIGULA: THE FINAL CUT a completely new feature film, ready to be re-evaluated and rediscovered.
