I heard moderately good things about Caligula: The Ultimate Cut, but less that it turns it into a good movie, more that it is no longer one of the worst ever made.

I kinda dig Caligula, beyond the porno I think it captures the empty, unfulfilling hedonism and cruelty endemic to multi-generational autocracy.

I think the main problem is that the script is about how these people are contemptible and awful and we're all even worse for making compromises with power because deep down we want to get a taste of that brass ring.

The production of the movie is all "shut the gently caress up nerd look at the boat powered by blowjobs."

Sounds a lot like the problem with war movies.

Yes. Also, the porno parts of Caligula kick rear end, even if they don't work.
