Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2001)

A strange film. It made me very uncomfortable the first time i watched it, the scenes of rape and violence are graphic and disturbing. However something must have clicked because i still went out and bought the tape the next day. I have now watched it many times and can only see it's genius. The Language, loosely based on Russian i believe is amazing, the music adds to the film in a very noticeable way and the acting of the lead Malcolm Macdowell is superb - a fine actor.
It still disturbs me greatly, but i think that is the intention and that is what makes it such a powerful movie 30 years on.
8/10
