All are fantastic but it is McDowell as the titular Emperor Caligula who delivers a tour de force performance. He perfectly encapsulates director Brass's vision of Caligula as an anarchist in power, a child given the most powerful Empire in the world to play with. He is both funny and psychotic, charming and frightening, childlike and sexually violent. Despite playing such a convincing maniac, McDowell manages to move the viewer with the more human aspects of Caligula's nature. When Caligula's sister Drusilla (Teresa Ann Savoy) - with whom he has an incestuous love affair - dies from a fever, his grief is actually touching. As Caligula's behaviour becomes more and more erratic, one cannot help feel for his desperate situation. He attempts to push his Senate into defying him, giving them increasingly crazy commands and becomes more and more frustrated when even whoring their wives and daughters does not force them into stopping him. That McDowell can make this character believable is astounding. ...Caligula - Long Version ( Caligola )
