Heliogabalus, Tyrant of Rome (1911)

£0.00

(L'orgie romaine)


Country: FR
Technical: bw/col 8m
Director: Louis Feuillade
Cast: Jean Aymé, Louise Lagrange

Synopsis:

Wicked and effete 3rd Century Emperor Heliogabalus reviews his courtesans, has a manicure, feeds a slave to the lions, holds an orgy, unleashes the lions on his guests and is despatched by the Pretorian Guard.

Review:

And all in under nine minutes. This sequence of single setups, of which the titular orgy makes up but one part, has a rather grisly off-camera beheading at the end but is otherwise tame enough. The same could be said of the lions.
