Gore Vidal's Caligola
Io, Caligola
Showing the perversion behind imperial Rome, an epic story that charts the violent life of the Roman emperor Gaius Caesar, better known as Caligula (McDowell), who ruled from 37-41 A.D. This was the fellow who is believed by historians to have gone mad shortly after assuming office. Among other things, he wasted his resources on public shows; exiled or murdered most of his family; enjoyed watching people tortured and killed while he ate dinner; made his pet race horse a consul; proclaimed himself a god; and had temples built in his honour. And these were his minor offenses!
Caligula has never been released in the UK uncut. This Dutch import is a definitive version of the film, running approximately 30 minutes longer than some previous UK releases.
