Absolute power corrupts in CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT, an extensive reconstruction of the notorious 1979 spectacle.
Shadowed by the murder of his family, Gaius Caligula (Malcolm McDowell) eliminates his devious adoptive grandfather (Peter O’Toole) and seizes control of the Roman Empire alongside his wife Caesonia (Helen Mirren) before descending into a spiral of depravity, destruction, and madness.
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, from an unprecedented amount of never before-seen footage. With a screenplay by Gore Vidal (Myra Breckinridge) and a supporting turn by Sir John Gielgud (Arthur), amid sumptuous designs by two-time Oscar winner Danilo Donati, Caligula is a spectacle of cinematic decadence that audiences will never see the likes of again.
