A Clockwork Lemon?

Rating: 7/10 (21 September 2005)

The flawed genius of Stanley Kubrick.
There is no doubt that this film was cutting-edge when made.
The censors must have had quite a time deciding how much sex, violence and colorful language the film's audience were going to get. But it isn't so shocking now.
This is my summary of the film.
Typical Kubrick: wonderful story, brilliant acting (as a result of ingenious casting) and clever cinematography. And don't forget the twisted, wacky, dark, funny script.
Untypical Kubrick: lame ending. So unfulfilling that I'd venture to say it is his most over-rated film. Still, as with Spielberg, a 'bad' Kubrick film is still better than most other 'good' films made.
