In a shock decision by the BBFC, the uncut version of the notorious and ludicrously opulent multi-million dollar 'porn epic' CALIGULA has been granted an 18 Certificate for its forthcoming DVD release, thereby allowing it to be readily available in stores on every high street in the UK.
Notable for being the only major motion picture ever to star esteemed British actors of the calibre of Malcolm McDowell, Sir John Gielgud, Peter O'Toole and Helen Mirren alongside scenes of extreme violence and explicit hardcore sex, CALIGULA infamously sees them being outrageously upstaged by graphic sequences involving anal fisting, explicit lesbian trysts, orgies and blow jobs (among other things). A true 'porn epic', the film in its uncut version is a veritable catalogue of depravity the likes of which have never been seen in one single film before or since.
CALIGULA: THE IMPERIAL EDITION comes as a four-disc set that features three separate versions of the film including the complete, fully uncut and uncensored version that sealed this demented film's reputation as one of the most controversial in cinema history.
CALIGULA: THE IMPERIAL EDITION (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£24.99) by Arrow Films on 29th September 2008.
