43 years after the 1980 release of historical epic Caligula, producer and reconstructionist Thomas Negovan has realised the creators’ original vision with CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT, a version comprised of entirely never-before-seen footage shot in 1976.
A treatise on the corrupting influence of power, this extensive reconstruction of the notorious 1980 spectacle, CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT restores the complete performances of McDowell and Helen Mirren, as the promiscuous ‘Caesonia’, from an unprecedented amount of never before seen footage.
See it only at Dendy Cinemas from September 26th!
“A masterpiece” – Cinapse
“Caligula has an undenaiable power” – The Guardian
“A celebration of the acting talents of Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren” – Los Angeles Review of Books
Malcolm McDowell stars as the deranged Emperor whose depraved acts include giving his horse political office, sleeping with his own sister and executing anyone who remotely displeases him. Gore Vidal provides the (uncredited) screenplay.
The film, which is punctuated by a sequence of elaborate orgy scenes, remained in limbo for two years as Brass wrangled over the right to a final cut, and various versions have been in circulation over the years since its initial release.
