Vinyl

Tds4a C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E-L-Y stole my thunder on this one.

I sometimes wonder whether Warhol was just an incredible con man and was trying to test the waters a bit, trying to see how much he could test his audiences' patience before they started to say "...waaaait a second... this is a steaming turd...". It took me three minutes here, but I'm worried some people still aren't in on the "joke".

Not much going on here, but there are a few things I really like about it. For example, someone offscreen reads the credits out loud, but at such infrequent intervals it takes almost the whole movie. Also the dancing scene kicks ass, and I like the fact that the whole story is told inside one frame.

I can't call this an adaptation of A Clockwork Orange.

Drugs are bad.

Basically a dreadful Clockwork Orange. Even calling it that is being generous honestly.

Is it art? Yes. Is it good art? No.

Laranja mecânica sadomasoquista com boa parte num plano único? Yes, please.

An underground BDSM Clockwork Orange. Strange, amateurish, but charming in its high school play manner. Works best as a companion piece with Kubrick's film and the novel. It's fascinating the ways Warhol re-purposes story elements, and manages to stay true to the themes of free will while also adding in a lot of homoerotic overtones and leather fetishism.
