Classic Friday : A Clockwork Orange (1971) 7/10

Director : Stanley Kubrick
Running Time : 131 mins

Alex DeLarge (McDowell) is a juvenile delinquent who gets sent to prison when he accidentally kills a woman. After two years of imprisonment he is asked to take part in an experimental form of rehabilitation, by which his capacity for violent outbursts is suppressed. Unfortunately his notoriety leads him to get involved in potentially dangerous situations.

This film was not at all what I was expecting. Although it did start off very weird, with some extremely disturbing rape and assault scenes, the film eventually meanders into a much more visually acceptable movie which remained intriguing throughout.
