Dark, lively and brilliant film.

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2008)

"If a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man." Violent juvenile Alex's (Malcolm Macdowell) transformation and journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen forms the dynamic arc of Kubrick's future-shook vision of Anthony Burgess's novel. Macdowell gives on of the greatest performances of all time. Unforgettable images, startling musical counterpoints (which is apparent and vital in pretty much all of Kubrick's films), the fascinating language used by Alex and his pals-Kubrick shapes them into a shattering whole. The power of its art is such that it still entices, shocks, and holds us in its grasp. Awesome film.
