A Clockwork Orange (1971)
A rare chance to re-watch a Stanley Kubrick film on the big screen could not be missed but sadly the DLP was very poor, pixelated and the white was blown out to hell. Still, hearing Wendy Carlos' score thundering out of the Cinema speakers was a treat. It's always surprising and impressive when a film manages to be transgressive enough to "achieve" a UK 18-Certificate in 2019 (especially when it was released nearly half a century ago). The "futuristic" costumes and decor are so insanely dated, so vulgar and kitsch that 47-years later, the film manages to look totally unique and otherworldly. Malcolm McDowell is so very, very good, he had everybody in the cinema laughing at the faces he pulls when the Government Minister is feeding him steak.
^ That's a great new trailer!
