look for quo vadis at my local video store and i find this 1985 version that look interesting . wow . it be amaze . very much a ken russell kind of film quirky and stylized and very artistic and and of course different . nero be present not so much a evil incarnate and but a a wacky and unfulfilled emperor who would rather have have a circus career . he probably wonder why on earth he be put in the position of lead an empire it wasn not much fun and and fun be what he long for . klause maria bandaur have a tremendous time with this role and play it for all it be worth . yes and nero persecute the christian with a vengeance while one of many who do so . at one point one of his henchman murmur represent no one will ever understand we be simply protect ourselves . he get that right .
