Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film is a complete reimagination of Caligula (1979). 96 hours worth of never before seen footage that has been recovered many years after its release served as the basis for this new version, which was produced by author and historian Thomas Negovan. However, instead of expanding scenes with the new footage, the entire film was recut from scratch to create a unique version that doesn't contain a single frame from the original. This was done with the goal to be as close to Gore Vidal's original script as possible. Great care has been taken to select alternate footage to not only change the tone of certain scenes, but also to honour the instincts of the actors. Additonally, visual effects were used to enhance scenes and to replace the cheap sets and backgrounds. AI technology was used to restore dialogue performances that were previously unusable, since they were plagued with background noises. A new music score was also composed for this new cut of the film. Originally planned for a limited theatrical release in late 2020, this version later premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023.

Featured review
Huge disappointment
As a huge caligula fan i own all there is to own about my fav roman emperor and so when i heard there is a new extended edition of the beloved 1979 film with around 20 or so new footage scenes i was excited and i immediately bought the new spanish blu ray release.
Sadly things did not went well with this.
This cut has a lot of flaws. In fact all went wrong if u exclude some new deleted scenes.
Those deleted scenes were the only worthy part of the film.
U get to see how caligula orders other people to worship his own statues which replaced those of the gods. This scene was great and there are a few more but the good things end here.
Unfortunately this is NOT the original take of the film and everything was changed.
What i mean is even the voices the way the actors performed was different than the theatrical version and that was not good.
More important the divine music which made the original film so much better was not here.
The music used here was boring and added nothing to the film.
I was tired watching this.
I will only keep this cut cause of the new footage and that's that.
I'm very disappointed of this new extended cut.
So i advise you to stick to the imperial edition of the film and the original 155 minutes long version.
