" LA HOMME ALEX" [Three strikes? Yeah!.....].
If you're over 20 and under 30 and have never seen this - you have been seriously deprived, and in need of this therapy.A unique imprint of an alternate universe, not sci-fi, in layman's terms - "don't tamper with social patterns" - could be described in rap as: "A prophetic picture of putrid puberty; protruding pulchritude, pathetic parenting, prison's potent punishments and polluted politics". Sound familiar? A satire about "civilization", fortunately Mr. Kubrick chose the novel by Burgess, and did not base it on the contemporary Manson.Sets, *music [Wendy Carlos, *worth getting the complete score not used], costumes, AND the performances by Malcolm McDowell [that 2001 Starchild] and Patrick Magee [previously the definitive DeSade in "Marat/Sade"] remain supreme. Many imitations, this one's so special! A seductive, multi-faceted jewel in your DVD collection, worth many visits.TRIVIA: Mick Jagger was also on the list as ALEX.For "HER" version - see "La Femme Nikita".
