The Love Nights Of Anthony And Cleopatra: -1996- __full__

Joe D'Amato, who also served as the screenwriter and cinematographer. Release Date:

The film’s centerpiece—and the reason for its NC-17 rating—is the “Discotheque of the Nile” sequence. After Antony loses the Battle of Actium (a 40-second montage of stock footage), he returns to Alexandria to find Cleopatra has transformed the throne room into a pulsating nightclub. For eighteen uninterrupted minutes, the film abandons dialogue entirely. The soundtrack blares a bespoke Eurodance track (“Forever in a Night” by 2 Unlimited’s tribute act, “Infinity Plus”). Antony and Cleopatra do not make love; they perform a choreographed, slow-motion dance of sweaty, desperate proximity, surrounded by extras in gold body paint waving glow sticks.
