Product: A Clockwork Orange [VHS] (1972)
Rating: 5.0
It threw society on its head.
I first saw the Clockwork Orange as a under-age teenager and was so impressed by it, that I immediately embarked on both a Kubrick and Burgess spree.Kubrik seemed to perfectly capture Burgess' idea of a society heading for trouble. The world of Alex and his Droogs seems a precursor to the punk movement that took off some five years later and , in my opinion helped to define its attitude and fashion. In an unprecedented move, Kubrik hardly wavers from the original dialogue. In fact, the script is almost word for word what Burgess wrote. To my knowledge this had never been done before or since.
