It's brilliant. Kubrick shot it several years after Anthony Burgess published the book "a Clockwork Orange" and made the book famous. It has remained the book Burgess is most remembered for.

Kubrick is simply a genuis director. I found the images from the movie very stylish and absolutely unforgettable. The violence in the movie caused quite a scandal when CWO was released (early 70s, I believe), but from today's point of view, it is not particularly explicit - it's the atmosphere, the sound, the wonderfully chosen actors and above all Kubrick's work with the camera make it highly intense and provocative. The language is cool, too: Burgess invented a sort of artificial language called nadsat which consists of 'englishized' Russian words. The way he makes use of it through the characters is almost poetic! Kubrick chose plenty of phrases from and has them narrated by Alex, who is also the protagonis of the story. I felt that after watching the movie, I heard those funny terms reverberating in my head for several days, and after having read the book, I was astonished how much of the beauty of the language of the book Kubrick managed to put into this 2h or so movie.

To make it short: Viddy the movie, droog! I's worth it!
