There are original, evocative pieces written for the film by Paul Clemente, no doubt a talented composer.While some of the photography is stilted in this film, for the most part it's gorgeous. The acting in general is all very good.The use of music is also to be noted. And Peter O'Toole's Tiberius Caesar, whose diseased face is rotting away, is truly an oddity to behold.put he pulls it off well. Is convincing as Drusilla, Caligula's sister.
