Caligula
CriticsCritics: 28
AudienceAudience: 5.2
After a paranoid emperor dies, his heir takes control of Rome and begins ruling through cruelty, extravagance, and unchecked desire. As the imperial court descends into violence and debauchery, a once-promising reign becomes an increasingly disturbing portrait of absolute power.
You may appreciate this as a lavish, controversial historical oddity with striking performances and extreme decadence; Not for you if graphic sex, sadistic violence, or uneven, overlong exploitation-style drama are dealbreakers.
