I get what you're saying, but it just became a porn fest. I love Gore Vidal, but I think it was a disaster due to too many cooks. I know Gore Vidal was fucking pissed about the film.I wrote a review of "Caligula" for my book of movie reviews. The original version was way too long (3 1/2 hours) , the unrated version is too long (156 minutes) , but the R-rated version (105 minutes) is incoherent.
I disagree that it's a mess (except for the R-rated version). It's definitely not stupid, with Gore Vidal and 5 other script writers. It's a Hollywood movie (made in Rome) so of course it's inaccurate, but it depicts the decadence of Rome better than any other Hollywood "Sword and Sandal" epic.
Most of us are awaiting nudes!
In "If..." he showed all, very nice butt
"If..." is supposedly the first British film to show full frontal nudity.All recent tv screenings (and the recent dvd version,apparently) have edited out the full frontal shots but I'm sure they were there when I first saw it.The cock? Any pix?
Isn't "Caligula" very pornagraphic? I read it was.
