Product: A Clockwork Orange [VHS] (1972)
Rating: 5.0
Fantastic Adaptation of a Truly Prophetic Novel
This is one of the most vibrant, unsettling films ever brought to the screen. A fantastic adaptation of Anthony Burgess's truly prophetic novel. Fear of government overshadowing, of the apathy of teenagers, and the rising prevailance of violence in society all meld together to form this juggernaut of film making. Considering the date of its initial release A Clockwork Orange was quite ahead of the times. The visual medium that is film has hardly been used so aptly as social commentary. Michael McDowell's performance is one of the most memorable in Hollywood history. Read the book, watch the movie, and enjoy every disturbing, ultraviolent second!
