Caligula is a chore to sit through, to the point where I finally started to fast-forward through scenes to get to the story! I queue'd the film because it was notorious and I wanted to find out want the controversy was about. It is reminiscent of Fellini's Satyricon, with a garishly decadent Rome, but Caligula is a surprisingly poor film, given the names attached. If you are interested to see what it is about, I suggest you first check out the Wikipedia article for details on the production issues. Had I known, I might have saved a queue slot.
