Reviews of A Clockwork Orange 1971

my favorite Kubrick.

This is a dangerous movie. I worry that a lot of people like this movie for all the wrong reasons. Honestly, I might have been one of them at some point. It is easy to get caught up in how charismatic McDowell is and forget that Alex rapes and murders people from the very start of this film.

Eu relutei muito. Muito. Mas tive que reconhecer; o cara era um gênio! Formalismo técnico agregado a muito conteúdo.
