Product: A Clockwork Orange [VHS] (1972)
Rating: 5.0
Blu-ray transfer worthy of the classic
A masterpiece of film making gets the treatment it deserves. The Blu-ray edition is very well done and greatly enhances the visual qualities of this classic, compared to any DVD edition. This would be great for any classic and is especially welcome for this iconic movie, full of visual symbols that have influenced countless others.I won't try to review the movie itself - I just want to note that the special features are excellent: an interview with Malcolm MacDowell, a montage of opinions from book critics, movie critics, and even members of the British Film Censorship Board of the time. There's also a "making of" feature - everything's worth watching.I especially resonated with this bit from the MacDowell interview. He says that the movie is better absorbed by the audiences of today than it was 30 years ago when it was released. I think this can only be said of very few films, even if you only look at the very best.A must have for any cinephile.
