It's one of those rare cinematic gems that you'll absolutely need to see at least once in your life.
The movie is based on a book by Anthony Burgess. It follows the life of Alex - a young man who indulges in sex, violence and drugs. He's got his own posse - his 'droogs' as he calls it, and the film recounts their spree of 'ultraviolence' in the neighborhood.
This movie is not for the faint of heart as the first part of the film can be very disturbing. Though some might find the urge to stand up, leave, and stop watching - I urge you to finish the whole movie as it certainly gets better at the end. Not that the beginning wasn't at all good, but it's the kind of movie that you'll only be able to appreciate as a whole - and not just parts of it.
After watching this movie, never again will you be able to perceive Ludwig Van Beethoven and Singing in the Rain the same way. Towards the end, you'll also expect to find a smirk on your face - or you may even laugh out loud (like me!), not at all something that you'd expect from a film with such a dark beginning.
It's sheer brilliance and definitely one of a kind - a classic film that you couldn't afford to miss!
