– Deborah Ross / The Spectator
“One of the most controversial productions in film history, Caligula was first proposed in the 1970s, went through what can only be described as a series of catastrophes, and, in 1980, emerged as a version which would be abruptly disavowed by its editor, its composer, and the most prominent members of its cast. —
Producer Thomas Negovan’s reconstructed version uses nothing that appeared in the film as seen before. — The consequence of all this refinement is a film whose wayward moments seem all the more marvellous. Rather than an exotic, sprawling mess, it is a work whose various wonders serve a purpose, even when that purpose is only to dazzle. It strives to fill the void left by the gods, and where it falls short, it is only more glorious as a result.”
– Jennie Kermode / Eye For Film
