Review of A Clockwork Orange (1971) by Alex A — 22 May 2014
Stanley Kubrick masterfully directed A Clockwork Orange using the novel as the script instead of a written screenplay, making this one of the most faithful adaptions ever. The casting is perfect, with Malcolm McDowell's poetic narration and bravura performance as Alex DeLarge.
This may be a bizarre film that fiddles with your brain circuitry, but it's graceful and aesthetic at the same time. With memorable characters, political satire, a great soundtrack, beautiful cinematography, nearly timeless social commentary and brilliant performances, A Clockwork Orange is a favorite, complex cult classic.
