Stanley Kubrick's satirical black comedy shocked a lot of people back in 1971 with its scary portrait of teen hooliganism. And it remains extremely provocative and eye-catching today, dated but not in any way faded. A highly impressive Malcolm McDowell gets the role for which he'll be best remembered as Alex, 'a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven', who is taken by the authorities on a radical programme to reform him. The rape, to the strains of Singin' in the Rain, hasn't lost its power to shock and offend -- you've been warned. Kubrick withdrew the movie from circulation in Britain for 25 years, after threats on his life, but it finally re-emerged on his death.
