THE EXPERIENCE

Join us for this special anniversary screening of a film Roger Ebert called “sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash”. Variety called it a “moral holocaust” and Rex Reed called it “a trough of rotten swill.” Now with never-before-seen footage and even longer than before, Caligula is not to be missed! Crown give-a-away during doors!

ON SCREEN: Caligula: The Ultimate Cut

2023 (remaster). Directed by Tinto Brass. Runtime: 178 minutes. Not Rated.

Now, 43 years after the 1980 release of the historical epic Caligula, producer and reconstructionist Thomas Negovan has realized the creators’ original vision with Caligula: The Ultimate Cut, a version comprised of entirely never-before-seen footage shot in 1976. Shadowed by the murder of his entire family, the young, wary Caligula (Malcolm McDowell) eliminates his devious adoptive grandfather (Peter O’Toole) and seizes control of the declining Roman Empire, 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, as the promiscuous Caesonia, from an unprecedented amount of never-before-seen footage. Sumptuous set designs by two-time Oscar winner Danilo Donati.
