This review is for the unrated version of this magnifecent film.
Before Rome. Before Gladiator. The most controversial film of all time as you've never experienced it before! Combining lavish spectacle and top award-winning stars, this landmark production is now presented in a b...( read more)
The only Tinto Brass film you can watch with your girlfriend!
It's a bit rude but very entertaining, it's a classic and McDowell is brilliant! It's art innit! ;o)
Never sure if it's porn or trying to accurately depict the decadence of the time. (Depending on which version you saw.) It's a bit of a mess with a stellar cast no mater how you look at it. (And do take a look at Helen Mirren. Quite the hottie in this.)
Completely ridiculous. The only thing that surprised me was that he DIDN'T fuck his dead sister.
Yea this movie is sick.
Sick like Malcolm McDowell fists a dude.
Yea, on the guys wedding night no less (after deflowering the bride to be of course)
I can't believe this movie e...( read more)
Straight up nonsense. The talent featured (at least O'Toole and Gielgud had the smarts to get knocked off in the first 45 minutes) is the only thing implying an air of respectability about this movie. I'm no prude but there was way too much sex (McDowell goes down on his dead sis...( read more)
This is not a moralistic opinion in any way, be sure of that but this was just not good and an embarrassment for the star studded cast (I'm not putting McDowell in this group) ... I saw the original cut and it was not good. Even though it was written by Gore Vidal it does not mea...( read more)
I like the *idea* of this film, and I'm glad it exists, but I did not enjoy seeing it.
It's plot is almost nonexistant and Peter O'Toole has all the best dialogue, so after he dies in the first 30 minutes, you can say farewell to any semblance of enjoyable regal drama. I'm all f...( read more)
A bizarre hodgepodge of "history", myth, pornography, libel and (strangest of all) some elements from Camus' homogenous play.
Unsuccessful as art, erotic titillation, exploitation or pretty much anything else but oddly watchable.
1953 the rope and 1954 Demetrius and the Gladiators are more serious. But T.Brass' irony gives better description about downfall.
Thanks. You'd have to be high to want to see the edited version (if you're even going to bother watching this film)
