Product: A Clockwork Orange [VHS] (1972)
Rating: 5.0
striking and odd at the most
Stanley Kubricks mind-blowing visual interpretation of A Clockwork Orange is a timeless masterpiece. Alex(Mcdowell), a young man and his gang of droogies lead the viewer into a world of milk bars, ultra violence, and mischief. they spend their time breaking into houses and cars, raping young women and generally causing chaos. When Alex is imprisioned, they use his love of Beethoven against him. Burgess' novel is well represented throughout the film, and the language used is remarkable. some directors would just flat out depict the violence, but Kubrick takes it to a new dimension and level and adds depth to the story line. though many people miss the point of the film, you have to read the novel to truly understand where he is coming from in the film
