Kubrick's Genious
Violent but excellent film that goes deep into the dark side of the human behavior. Kubrick is my favorite film director and this is (for me) his second most important work after 2001. Certainly, the movie is shocking but it is extremly well done. The mixture of images with music such as "The Thieving Magpie" by Rossini in violent scenes is artistically delightfull. The secuence of images is terrific, the script based upon the novel by Burguess is great and the acting is very good, perfectly guided by the director. The movie was supposed to be a vision of the future of society and it is sad to see how some of the things present in the film are part of our actual life. It is not a movie for everyone, but it is a jewel of film history. A must have choice for movie collectors.
