Hey dad, there's a strange fella sittin' on the sofa munchy-wunching lomticks of toast.
(not an official trailer)
1971 Stanley Kubrick
Set in a future England Alex is a youth that likes a bit of the 'ultra-violent' and merrily goes around duffing people up and having a bit of the old 'in out'. One day he gets caught and sent to prison charged with murder, he hears of a new therapy that will have him released in a short time rather than serving his full sentence. The therapy it turns out is not tested thoroughly and has adverse reactions.
Its a weird kind of jolly jaunt from Kubricks imagination, plenty to keep watching to the end.
It's apparently a classsic from it's time that was banned on release, it all looks a bit tame these days.
I like the way the narator talks.
7.5/10
