PORN......*cough* Bob Colacello - Caligula and the politics of fame
SIM: Flash Art, May June 2006, no 248, pg 106 - 109
In this interview with Bob Colacello we learn about his career in filmmaking and the famous personalities he's met along the way.
Since i had gone to see the 5 minute porn trailer, as he likes to call "Caligula", i thought it might be nice to understand why he created the contraversial short movie, instead Francesco Vezzoli was mainly asking questions about who he has worked with through the medium of film in his time. One such famous character was Andy Warhol who dabbled in the industry of filmmaking, where the two met.
Vezzoli continued to ask countless questions about his connection with Warhol, which i found to be a little off the topic of Caligula, but nontheless interesting.
He then went onto asking him about politics, moving from one subject to the next, all being linked by Warhol's influence in his life.
I really didnt think that this interview was all that interesting and certainly did a huge roundabout way in getting back to the main topic of Caligula. I did learn that there were some interesting relationships between Colacello, Warhol, Rosselini, and other big names of the past. But what i didnt learn was why Caligula was remade.
