Unobstructed View is bringing Tinto Brass' newly restored 'Caligula: The Ultimate Cut' - the scene-by-scene reconfiguration of the controversial epic chronicling the Roman Empire’s most debauched emperor for a limited numbered 4K UHD Blu-ray release.
“We have been waiting for the right vehicle with which to amp up our US game and this film is it - notorious, rare and collectible,” says UV’s founder and President Jonathan Gross, who licensed UV’s rights from Drafthouse Films. “We are thrilled that Drafthouse Films has chosen to work with us. We are also thrilled to have Diabolik on board because they are a leading provider of curated home entertainment.”
Tormented by the murder of his family, the young, wary Caligula (Malcolm McDowell) eliminates his devious adoptive grandfather Tiberius (Peter O'Toole) and seizes control of the declining Roman Empire as it descends into a spiral of depravity, destruction and madness. Restoring the complete performances of McDowell and O'Toole along with fellow film legends Helen Mirren and John Gielgud, this extensive reconstruction of the notorious 1980 spectacle, based on the original narrative as conceived by writer Gore Vidal, had its world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Showcasing the sumptuous costume designs of two-time Oscar winner Danilo Donati (Fellini's Cassanova; Romeo & Juliet), CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT features an entirely new score by Troy Sterling Nies, as well as a new animated title sequence by graphic artist Dave McKean (Arkham Asylum, The Sandman).
