A Clockwork Orange

I finally saw it--and I suppose was subconsciously saving it for last. Quite stylish, but also a bit cliched--though I guess this is the original from whence all the other cliches came. It's a difficult movie to sum up so I'll just go with my top five takeaways from it: 1) very English--note I don't say British, 2) very whimsical almost Victorian/Edwardian, child-like language, 3) refined: Beethoven's 9th, the 1960 St. Estephe, 4) sexual but not vulgar, 5) eye drops. I was tempted to give this five stars, but frankly the editing could have been tighter between scenes, and the screenplay was a bit weak in places.
