  Caligula: The Ultimate Cut

  £95.00

  “What would you have done if you had been given absolute power of life and death over everybody else in the whole world?”

  An original, country of origin 2024 UK Quad movie poster for the Bob Guccione/Tinto Brass film “Caligula: The Ultimate Cut”. An absolutely beautiful and striking design with a great use of bold colour, featuring Malcolm McDowell as the titular Caligula and Helen Mirren as Caesonia. “The Ultimate Cut” is a complete re-imagination of Caligula (1979), based on 96 hours of never-before-seen footage recovered many years after its release. Under the supervision of historian Thomas Negovan, an “Ultimate Cut” of the film was created. Instead of expanding existing scenes with the new footage, the entire film was edited from scratch, which resulted in a version that doesn’t contain a single frame from the theatrical version. Visual effects were used to enhance scenes and replace cheap sets and backgrounds, and AI technology was used to restore previously unusable dialogue that was plagued with background noises. A new music score was composed as well, in contrast to the public domain ballet music. A limited theatrical release was planned in late 2020, but it was delayed due to legal difficulties, distribution issues and the Covid-19 pandemic. This version eventually premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, with high praise by actors Malcolm McDowell (who previously had been ashamed by the film) and Dame Helen Mirren. Offered in excellent, high grade, rolled (as issued) condition, this poster is a rare find as the movie received such a limited cinematic release. One of the most controversial films of all time and a fine example of sought after movie memorabilia.

  La Dolce Vita

  £195.00

  “A series of stories following a week in the life of a philandering tabloid journalist living in Rome.”

  One of the best and most acclaimed movie ever made, Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita”. A stunning, duotone photographic film poster, featuring the titular ‘La Dolce Vita’ exclusive to the remastered BFI release of 2020 with imagery that is unique to Britain and only featured on this UK quad poster that features the iconic scene of Anita Ekberg ebulliently splashing her way into the centre of the Trevi Fountain in Rome. The example offered here is presented in excellent unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition. It displays beautifully.  As a largely art-house and independent cinema release, posters for this limited time screening are extremely scarce and rarely comes to market. It represents a fine piece of collectable movie memorabilia for one of the big screen’s greatest & most influential films.

  Trivia: The film contributed the term “paparazzo” to the language. The term derives from Marcello’s photographer friend Paparazzo. Federico Fellini took the name “Paparazzo”, as he explained in a later interview, from the name of someone he met in Calabria (Southern Italy) where Greek names are still common. “Paparazzi” is the plural.

  La Dolce Vita

  £125.00

  “A series of stories following a week in the life of a philandering tabloid journalist living in Rome.”

  One of the best and most acclaimed movie ever made, Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita”. Anita Ekberg takes centre stage with imagery that is unique to this 1982 Japanese release. Whilst Ekberg is presented in full vibrant colour with the background imagery – a combination of key scenes from the movie presented in muted colours, giving a 3D type of effect for Ekberg who literally pops from the paper. The Japanese B2 offered here is presented in very good unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition. It displays beautifully.  As a largely art-house and independent cinema release, posters for this are extremely scarce and rarely comes to market. It represents a fine piece of collectable movie memorabilia for one of the big screen’s greatest & most influential films.
