Don't
expect a history lesson here. This is the story of time traveling space
aliens who go back to an ancient era to investigate a rival planet's
nefarious plans. Hoping to rewrite the past, these aliens transform
young Cleopatra into a nymphomaniac in order to stop the randy dictator
Caesar.
The movie deals with revolution and civil unrest while also poking fun
at the recounting of truthfulness in History. It breaks many cultural
taboos, with scenes depicting rape, zoophilia, incest, pedophilia and
gay-bashing. There are also many unexpected moments, such as an Astro
Boy appearance. This is one of the first X-Rated (Adult) feature
films [3 years before Hollywood's Fritz the Cat]. Osamu
Tezuka is considered the Godfather of Manga, responsible for much of
Japan's iconic Pop Art, from Astro Boy to Kimba
the White Lion. By the late '60s, Tezuka turned to an adult
audience with this film, 1000 and One Nights and the classic
BELLADONNA
OF SADNESS. Mr Tezuka died from stomach cancer, February 1989
at age 60.
