More than that, though, this movie is not a movie. It is an act of defamation. What reached the screen was a distortion of the film that its makers had made. In conception, Caligula was an absurdist comedy, though with a few horrifyingly disturbing scenes. It was meant as a joke, and political power was the butt of that joke. The editing crew (among the best in the world), the re-recording crew (among the best in the world), the mixing crew (among the best in the world), and the lab crew (among the best in the world), were all put into the unenviable position of making sense of over 96 hours of footage without the benefit of the filmmakers to explain what that footage was supposed to mean, and how it was supposed to fit together. The shooting script was of no help whatever in interpreting the footage. Operating in the dark, without a map of the territory, with 96 hours of footage demonstrating cameras twirling around and zooming madly from one detail to another, the post-production crews tried to remember what little they had learned in grade school about a mad emperor, and hammered the material into some sort of shape that seemed to show a mad emperor.
