A Clockwork Orange can do no wrong!

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2002)

A Clockwork Orange was the one and only film that I DESPERATELY wanted to see, but as I was only 15 at the time of discovering it, it seemed impossible. Now, at 17, I eventually managed to get hold of a copy, watched it, and all my dreams came true. I cannot find one fault in this movie (probably due to the genius of Kubrick's directing). The Beethoviana music is haunting, together with the colours and the sets. Malcolm MacDowell plays Alex brilliantly. Being a fan of MacDowell anyway, it was a treat to see him in this role. The soundtrack fits so well with the imagery, and the supporting actors were well-cast. Favourite direction parts - the droogs attacking the "drunkie", the opening Milk Bar shot, and walking along the river. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to be shocked, entertained and amused.
