I recently watched this film again after not seeing it for a number of years. And I have to say 'What a film!' It is still fantastic, and saddens me once more that Stanley Kuberick has passed away, depriving the world of his filmmaking talents.
This is A Clockwork Orange's plot outline:
In the not-too-distant future, a charming young sociopath named Alex, leads a nihilistic lifestyle of 'ultraviolence' which comes to a head when he is jailed for murder and volunteers for an experimental brainwashing treatment to reform criminals in exchange for a shorter prison sentence.
This is one of my all time favourite films, and a perfect example of how violence and humour can work together so well, and also, how a true movie master can blow you away with a great story, visuals, music and acting. I don't know how to explain the dialogue, except something like Shakespearian-Cockney!!!!!!!
10 out of 10, as I have nothing to fault it on.
