I've never had anything against eroticism in movies. There are X-rated films I've enjoyed, from the sensuous fantasies of 'Emmanuelle' to the pop-comic absurdities of Russ Meyer. I assume that the crowds lining up for admission to the Davis Theater were hoping for some sort of erotic experience; I doubt that they were spending $15 a couple for a lesson on the ancient history of Rome.

'Caligula' is sickening, utterly worthless, shameful The film even fails to involve itself in the action. 'Caligula' has been photographed and directed with such clumsiness and inelegance that pieces of action do not seem to flow together, the plot is incomprehensible, the events are frequently framed as if the camera was not sure where it was, and everything is shot in muddy, ugly. The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs. Article by Ratan. Caligula Filme Love Movie I Movie Bob Guccione Tinto Brass Penthouses Magazine Watch Free Movies Online Watch Movies Top Movies. In Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal’s Caligula, Vezzoli makes a film trailer for a movie that does not exist, interpreted by international stars and personalities from the world of television and independent cinema such as Gore Vidal, Helen Mirren and Courtney Love, among others. The result is a parody that focuses on the sex-power binomial.

All I can say is that the makers of 'Caligula' have long since lost touch with any possible common erotic denominator, and that they suggest by the contents of this film that they are jaded, perverse and cruel human beings. In the two hours of this film that I saw, there were no scenes of joy, natural pleasure, or good sensual cheer. There was, instead, a nauseating excursion into base and sad fantasies.

You have heard that this is a violent film. But who could have suspected how violent, and to what vile purpose, it really is? In this film, there are scenes depicting a man whose urinary tract is closed, and who has gallons of wine poured down his throat. His bursting stomach is punctured with a sword. There is a scene in which a man is emasculated, and his genitals thrown to dogs, who eagerly eat them on the screen. There are scenes of decapitation, evisceration, rape, bestiality, sadomasochism, necrophilia.

These scenes -- indeed, the movie itself -- reflect a curiously distanced sensibility. Nobody in this film really seems to be there. Not the famous actors like Malcolm McDowell and (very briefly) Peter O'Toole and John Gielgud, whose scenes have been augmented by additional porn shot later with other people and inserted to spice things up. Not the director (who removed his credit from the film). Not the writer (what in the world can it mean that this movie is 'Adapted from an Original Screenplay by Gore Vidal'?) Not even the sound track. The actors never quite seem to be speaking their own words, which were so badly dubbed in later that the dialogue never seems to be emerging from the drama itself.
