A Clockwork Orange








Director - Stanley Kubrick

Genre - Crime/Drama/Thriller


Anthony Burgess wrote this tale set in the future and Stanley Kubrick made it into an iconic tour de force. At the core of this is a sly take on the nature of violence. Can evil behavior be curbed indefinitely through rehabilitation? The strange language in this movie was invented by Burgess, is addictive and catchy, like Shakespeare on acid. As always in a Kubrick picture, the sets are unparalleled and Malcolm McDowell, maniacally frightening. Devilishly cool even to this very day.

5 STARS!

This is a damn good movie, & one that viewers aren't going to forget quickly. I especially liked the dichotomy (& irony) of the two halves of the movies - violence is rewarding, while docility is rebuked. Quintessential Kubrick.
