CALIGOLA (1979)
no stars out of ****
Wow! It doesn't take much time to find a bad mainstream movie. In fact, there are lots of them every year. But it takes time to find something worse than GIGLI, FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY, HOWARD THE DUCK... Well, CALIGOLA tops- or should I say "bottoms"- them all. Why? Everything about this "film" is miscalculated, unpleasant and so completely wrong! A soft-core porn disguised as a biography of the mad Roman emperor Caligola, everything about it, from the acting to the indescribably awful direction, from the inane cinematography to the screenplay that seems to have been written by a horny donkey (sorry, I know Gore Vidal was involved but the writing is awful); everything is as awful as it gets, and it still gets worse.
Release us from things like CALIGOLA! Yuck! A big yuck! .
