"Controversial 'Caligula: The Ultimate Cut' premieres at Cannes"
A new version of the infamous 1979 film Caligula, titled Caligula: The Ultimate Cut, has premiered at the Cannes film festival. The film, which stars Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, John Gielgud and Peter O’Toole, was notorious for its chaotic production and explicit content. The new version, created by Thomas Negovan, aims to be closer to the original vision of the film's creators, with a clearer character arc for McDowell's performance. While still containing the elaborate sets, costumes, and explicit content of the original, the recut is a compelling testament to the film's unique place in cinema history.
