Masterful film from a master movie maker. Stanley Kubrick adapted the William Burroughs novel for the screen. Amazing how both of them had a vision of the future that is remarkably accurate in retrospect....gangs, drugs, street violence, alienation, youth culture.
Street thug ( Malcolm McDowell) is arrested and put into a rehabilitation program geared toward turning him away from violence. It is so strange and disturbing that by the end of the film we are actually hoping our anti-hero goes back to his old ways.
Fascinating, disturbing, violent, and surprisingly funny at times.
