We are trapped not in the grim paranoid future of "Blade Runner" but in a turbulent past: the Roman Empire, which, with all its gaudiness and corruption, has continuously fascinated moviemakers from the first great spectacle movie, Italy's "Cabiria" (1914), right up through the '60s, with Stanley Kubrick's "Spartacus" and Federico Fellini's "Satyricon."
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025)
Directed by Rian Johnson
influenced by Cabiria (1914)
Visuals
The desecration of the sacred is at first shot like a scene from Giovanni Pastrone's Cabiria, then, later, with the romantic tragedy of Franco Zeffirelli.
It was one of a handful of productions of the time that, alongside the Italian film Cabiria (1914), experimented with long-form storytelling.
