One of the 10 greatest films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2019)

A brutal, disturbing & very funny black comedy, A Clockwork Orange is my favorite Stanley Kubrick movie. It is by far Malcolm McDowell's greatest role, and he dominates this movie with one of the greatest performances in film history. He somehow manages to be vile, hateful and totally charming simultaneously. It is the greatest movie about society's relationship with violent crime I've ever seen. As shocking and entertaining today as it was in 1972, it both predicted and inspired the punk movement. A Clockwork Orange has stood the test of time better than any movie I know. If you've never seen it, watch it immediately. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
