Synopsis

The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign - he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organizes elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of England.

Director

Tinto BRASS

The maestro of erotic films, Tinto Brass started out making avant-garde films, i.e. Deadly Sweet (1967) and The Howl (1968), with ample use of pop art, Godardlike politics, psychedelic images and rock music. His trademark (and controversial) erotic films like Salon Kitty (1976) and Caligula (1979) followed. His later films like All Ladies Do It (1992) are seen as the celebration of sex and life as fun.
