About Caligula and Messalina
When the deranged emperor Caligula falls for an insatiable gladiatrix, their reign launches a mind-bending bacchanal of torture, sodomy, incest, castration, and aroused livestock.
Directed by Bruno Mattei, Antonio Passalia, Caligula and Messalina leans on a strong ensemble — Gino Turini, Betty Roland, Vladimir Brajovic — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1981.
