Horrorshow!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 1999)

I had read a lot about `A Clockwork Orange' before seeing it, basically because I was unable to see it. When I saw it two days ago, I thought that maybe reading a lot about it would make the actual film disappointing. It was better than I had read about. This is the greatest film ever made - better than The Professional, and that takes some beating. The overacting by the minor characters is excellent, as is Malcolm McDowell. Why this film didn't win all sorts of awards for art direction and costume design is beyond me. (as well as for best film, director, actor, editing, cinematography and adapted screenplay) Kubrick uses music in such a brilliant way, like in 2001, (notice its display at the record store) making for a great experience for eyes and ears. ACO is thought-provoking, funny, entertaining, and scary. Everything a film should be and more. Viddy well, brothers.
