Deeply bizarre yet strangely thought provoking

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2019)

One of the most abstract and disturbing films i've ever seen, although what else could you really expect from a director like Kubrick. There are two sides to Clockwork, on one hand its filled with too much unessecary nudity and graffic violence, at times called a bad porno by particularly pessimistic critics, yet still it had that ever present characteristic that only a Kubrick film can employ, that cinematic awe that causes it to stick with you for weeks after thinking about all the aesthetic mastery Kubrick employs. Filled with beautiful cinematography, poetic dialogue and a horrifyingly thrilling score, Clockwork Orange manages to be at once insightful and revolting, disturbing and yet deeply satisfying. There is no question this is not the easiest movie to watch but with its various philosophical messages and visual beauty, it is a film that seems impossible to ignore and one that will surely stick with you forever.
