Constructed from over 90 hours of recently unearthed original camera negatives, Caligula: The Ultimate Cut presents a bold new vision of the infamous 1980 film. This unprecedented edit is composed entirely of never-before-seen footage, showcasing the complete performances of Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, Peter O'Toole, and John Gielgud for the first time. Hailed as a groundbreaking cinematic resurrection, Caligula: The Ultimate Cut premiered as an official selection at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and earned an honorable mention on The L.A. Times' Top Ten Films of 2024.

Haunted by the brutal murder of his family, the young and calculating Caligula (Malcolm McDowell) ruthlessly eliminates his scheming adoptive grandfather (Peter O'Toole) and, alongside his insatiable wife, Caesonia (Helen Mirren), seizes control of a crumbling Roman Empire—spiraling into a reign of unchecked excess, violence, and madness. Featuring John Gielgud and the lavish designs of Oscar-winning production designer Danilo Donati, this revelatory cut redefines Caligula for a new era.

Roadshow presentation on 35mm by Vitagraph Films.
