Review of A Clockwork Orange (1971) by Benjamin H — 21 Apr 2013

A trip inside the mind of a crazed individual and an insight into views on society and the outcomes of so-called reform. Its not a feel good film in any shape or form but it opens your eyes to a side of life that is usually avoided at all costs.

Masterfully acted by Malcolm McDowell in a role that created a cult following and a media backlash. This film shows Kubricks skills in full flow, and his flair for the alternative. Themes of ultraviolence, murder, rape are all shown through an extremely camp and artistic filter which lightens the mood of the film despite the harsh reality.
