Caligula am 17. September:
Uncut and new Ultimate version of this controversial film. Caligula
is a 1979 erotic historical drama film focusing on the rise and
fall of the Roman Emperor Caligula. It stars Malcolm McDowell,
Teresa Ann Savoy, Helen Mirren, Peter O'Toole, John Steiner and
John Gielgud. It is the only feature film produced by the men's
magazine Penthouse. Producer Bob Guccione, the magazine's founder,
intended to produce an explicit pornographic film with a feature
film narrative and high production values. He also cast Penthouse
Pets as extras in unsimulated sex scenes filmed during
post-production by himself and Giancarlo Lui.
Caligula: The Ultimate Cut includes the addition of a prologue that
illustrates one of Vidal’s missing scenes, created by graphic
artist Dave McKean, and there is a new wraparound score by composer
Troy Sterling Nies. While the reconstruction was heralded by actor
McDowell, in keeping with the film’s tumultuous 45-year journey, it
was disavowed last year by director Brass. Far removed from the
artistic quarrels of Tinto Brass, Gore Vidal and Bob Guccione,
Thomas Negovan approached this new version from a neutral
perspective. His desire to elevate the actors gives greater
strength to the narrative and provides a new approach to the
Emperor Caligula’s madness. Another feat is that not a single shot
from the original film was used, which makes Caligula – The
Ultimate Cut a completely new feature film.
