Under the supervision of historian Thomas Negovan, I "Ultimate Cut" of the film was created
Plot
Follows Caligula as he kills his devious adoptive grandfather and takes control of the decadent Roman Empire, spiraling into depravity, devastation, and madness.. The film is a complete re-imagination of Caligola (1979), based on 96 hours of never-before -Seen footage recovered many years after its release.
A new music score was composed as well, in contrast to the public domain ballet music
Instead of expanding existing scenes with the new footage, the entire film was edited from scratch, which resulted in a version that doesn't contain a single frame from the theatrical version. Visual effects were used to enhance scenes and replace cheap sets and backgrounds, and AI technology was used to restore previously unusable dialogue that was plagued with background noises.
Edited from Caligola (1979)
Originally planned for a limited theatrical release in late 2020, this version premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023.. Difficult to write too much.I appreciated the final result of long fight for offer the quasi original film.
No doubt !Perfect ?
I liked the new scenes , offering some fresh air to a movie representation, including for bitter critics, a legend or a sort of classic.My curiosity was about the impressions of viewer discovering only this version. Its virtue- the idea of power without limits and its price becomes more clear , familiar frames are almost in new light but the essence is the same and the pornographic scenes are less significant than you imagine seeing the previews version.Impressive ?
Make your hope to become
Maybe provocative but it is its basic virtue. In short, for many reasons, an absolute must see.
