The Clock is Ticking.

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2004)

"I was cured, alright." -Alexander DeLarge
My favorite film of all time. A Clockwork Orange is the ultimate satire ever that is twisted and brilliant. The story concerns Alex DeLarge, a criminal who is sent to prison, was cured from his obsessions, and was released, When released, he is taunted by his former victims and friends.
A Clockwork Orange had an impact on me like no other movie before. Stanley Kubrick is a master at directing, and here is his best film. Malcolm McDowell is excellent as Alex, giving one of my favorite character performances. If not my favorite film, than at least in my Top 5, and a faithful adaptation to the novel. A masterpiece and easily the best movie of 1971.
10/10 stars.
