Excellent portrayal of how the rich lived in ancient rome. I love this movie, I saw the r rated version many years ago, and I was shocked by the unrated version and extra footage. Although the new footage is shocking it makes the film flow much better with the original footage. It is excellent and a true 70's gem. I don't know how this film avoided the DPP's Video Nasty list of banned films in 1983, but I'm sure if it were released this way it would be banned! Take this one with an open mind anf enjoy this outrageous, nostalgic piece of celluloid history!
The settings and acting was very good but the subject matter did creep me out a bit at times.

A stand-out movie, with riveting performances, of a very riveting era. Brings to life a fantasy-like scenario of decadence and debauchery in an almost unimaginable time of power, wielded by by a few with not the most puritanical of outlooks. Entirely beliveable, nontheless shocking.
As advertised.

I never saw this movie when it came out. I always wanted to. Of cousrs all I thought about was sex back then..lol It kind of supprised me how sadistic and violent it is. It is kind of s sick movie. They sex scenes were probably something back then, but compared to today, they are nothing. Pretty poor acting. Boy I am glad women learned how to shave....
This movie were on my mind since I was a boy. Never had seen this one on that time cuz of my age on those years. Tells about the madness of the "Cesar"'s generations and the best performance of Malcolm McDowell. Really must have for a collecter of movies like me.
The movie itself is a little racey. The picture of the blueray is excellent. If you want to watch a movie which pretty much describes life and morals in ancient Rome this movie is for you. I want to warn you it's a little more than just your typical rated R movie.
Heard of this movie from my uncle, a baby boomer who saw it in his early twenties down in Boston. Spoke "Highly"of the bicycle tongue" scene.Definetely NOT a movie for the shy type, or those who are faint of heart,though from what I've heard it's historically acurate.(Basically a porno with a well developed plot)
