Product: A Clockwork Orange (1972)
Rating: 5.0
Remarkably outstanding in the truest Kubrick fashion!
Every aspect of this timeless and frightening classic holds up astonishingly well in what I perceive to be the quintessential work of Stanley Kubrick at his most unabashed and humorously cruel nature. It almost seems as though Anthony Burgess has befitted the entire storyline and theme of his most well-known work from which Kubrick has adapted into a more chilling rendition in the screenplay from the highly energetic and fantastic imagery to the actors' delivery of the lines,particularly on the most part by the sheer magnetism of Malcolm McDowell, who was indeed born to play the most notorious and sometimes witty screen character in modern British cinema. In light of Kubrick's untimely passing one wonders if A Clockwork Orange has proven to be the most revered film to this day and not the stigmatized vehicle it was set out to be upon its release nearly 28 years ago. I,myself, proclaim it to be the starkest interpretation of art "imitating" life and once one sees it,he/she will understand why and how.
