YesAsia Editorial Description

Oguri Shun (Crows Zero, Hana Yori Dango) stars as a mad emperor in acclaimed theater director Ninagawa Yukio's controversial stage production Caligula. Ninagawa's version of Albert Camus's famous play delves into the life, mind, and times of Caligula, the third emperor of the Roman Empire. Records of Caligula generally depict him as a cruel, wasteful, perverse, and insane tyrant who executed many, expended royal coffers, legislated on personal whims, and anointed himself a living god. First staged in 1945, Camus's influential play, however, interprets Caligula's actions not as insanity but as absurdity, deliberate and arbitrary abuse of authoritarian power in reaction to a meaningless world.

Wearing only a loincloth for much of the play, Oguri Shun bares his body and soul to portray the complex role of Caligula, breathing life into the historical anti-hero and the classic Camus production. Oguri Shun also previously appeared in Ninagawa's Shakespeare productions As You Like It, Hamlet, and The Comedy of Errors, but this is his most important and challenging stage role yet. This DVD release of Caligula records the November 21, 2007 performance at Bunkumura Theater Cocoon in Tokyo.

This edition comes with a leaflet and bonus features (press interviews, round-table discussion with cast).
