Product: A Clockwork Orange (1972)
Rating: 5.0
Stunning. Provocative. Unforgettable.
I saw this movie for the first time years ago and decided to watch it again last night. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It really is an amazing film, from the acting (especially the fantastic Malcolm McDowell) to the delicious script (written by Kubrick) to the production design, etc. It also has a deep and very relevant message about society's tendencies toward violence and what -- if anything -- can be done about it. The sexual and violent scenes are not exploitative in the least. They are critical to the plot. What a profound movie! I think Kubrick is a hell of a talent...well, was.
