Emperor Claudius
rules the Empire with his wife Messalina at his side. However [at least
according to D'Amato's view of ancient history] Messalina is a nymphomaniac,
a sex-obsessed woman who mercilessly exploits and dominates her husband
to satisfy her insatiable lust - of course - at the risk of destroying
the empire. Supported by her corrupt friend Agrippina, Messalina turns
the Roman court into a cesspool of vice and perversion.
For Joe D'Amato, the
decade before his death [in January 1999, at age 62] was filled with a
nonstop array of hardcore (XXX) productions. He cranked out an astonishing
125+ films between 1989-98; most of them contained only a breathe of plot
but they always benefited from his professional eye and his 35 mm state-of-the-art
camera equipment. This film - part of his 'ancient Roman' period
- is generally considered one of his best.
Only a handful of his movies from the '90s were NOT
hardcore. During this time, he dabbled in genres which had originally
established his International popularity. In 1991, he directed his final
horror film, FRANKENSTEIN
2000. This was followed by a lurid Margaux Hemmingway thriller
called WOMAN'S
SECRET. In 1997, D'Amato dedicated time to making HYENA
which would be his very last non XXX film. His long film career [200+
productions] came to an abrupt end when he suffered an unexpected and
fatal heart attack at his home in Rome, January 1999, age 62.
