A Work Of Violent; Sexual Art

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2013)

Stanley Kubrick manages to create an incredibly; questionable atmosphere throughout the film. Though it may be intended in the novel to represent a future Britain, the film still uses 70's fashion, style and architect, with much stronger and colourful sexual nature. Malcolm McDowell's delivery of the characteristics of Alex are truly extraordinary. Of course his physical traits allow him to portray Alex, whereas, his psychological traits portray a remarkable; gentlemanly character. As a matter of fact, Alex appears to be delinquent with an isolated soul.
The scenes of sexual and violent nature can be perceived as 'Disturbing', though Kubrick has appeared to have used mild black comedy to prevent fear and worry of the audiences own safety.
The locations used in A Clockwork Orange all have the 'groovy' colour and style that surprisingly creates a cold unwelcoming atmosphere. Which gives off the feeling that the country has fallen and will not be restored to its safe state. All in all, the film can leave one feeling confused and cold. Though it is a must-see, and well worth your time. An absolute work of art.
