Genre-defying outrageous literary work

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2018)

Stanley Kubrick wow! This film is extreme, that's what the first few scenes said to me. It's off-the-rails scenes work to create the appropriate shock value in the audience. And those scenes truly work, it provokes the audience, willing them to think about what they just witness. It makes you reflect. This is film. It gives you a glimpse to another view and sometimes that view depends on how you perceive the film. A Clockwork Orange is vividly original as a a film (I'm aware it's a book). This is more of a movie that you sit back and think about it and perhaps rewatch again one more time because you can't really wrap your head around everything in this film. It definitely challenges the limits of film. Yet, I think it works well as a stand-alone entertainment and perhaps you'll get a better idea to Kubrick's vision.
