Hedonistic debauchery, that I guess is fitting when portraying a period like this. The problem is not that it features such graphic sex, rather it focuses on it way too much, and completely randomly, where it isn't necessary. Just when the story starts to get interesting, we slip back into another needless orgy. And the film is lesser for it.

this is a botched historical fiction film that even tho they deny it's porn.. IT IS PORN. Plus include the cast who can't seem to act, it's such a waste of time. p.s. malcolm's so gay here.. :s

Once again my lack of research prior to queuing led to quite the surprise when I threw this one in. I had no idea that it was a Penthouse production. There is no other way to say it--this was porn...with an ounce of history edited in. The balance of sex/story was skewed much too far in the porn direction to call this a good movie yet it was entertaining. As previously mentioned the HBO series Rome has much better balance with the emphasis on story and some debauchery intelligently interlaced in the plot.

A distinguished international cast; a screenplay by Gore Vidal; respected, award-winning talent behind the scenes; and millions of dollars at its disposal. What could possibly go wrong? Where would you like to start? CALIGULA (1979) had so much potential. I'd like to think that there's another unive More

Walk through a Bosch painting and marvel at the excesses and debauchery. Critics don't take this seriously because a porn producer snipped it up and inserted his own scenes. It is what it is. A near masterpiece.
