"Naughty, naughty, naughty! You filthy old soomka!"

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2008)

This movie is pure art on the screen.
From the interesting language, to the colorful inventions of this world created by Alex Burgess, this is the story of a young man's night-life gone wrong, his recovery and suffering.
Alex (Malcolm McDowell) is one of the most interesting characters on the big screen. He is leader of a "gang" consisting of Dim (Warren Clarke), Georgie (James Marcus), and Pete (Michael Tarn). Alex does not like being challenged and has his fun at the expense of others. He also heavily enjoys Beethoven and his pet snake, Basil.
Some other good performances in this movie were Frank Alexander (Patrick Magee), and my personal favorite, Mr. Deltoid (Aubrey Morris), Alex's crazy, blissfully always happy parole officer (I think so anyway).
I was very disoriented watching this movie, but a few more viewings helped me appreciate this movie so much more.
This is definitely a favorite of mine, and well worth a try.
10/10
