A teen aged nonconformist (Malcolm McDowell) leads a rebellion against the callous, blue-blooded upperclassmen who unofficially supervise his boarding school. McDowell is at
his smarmy best in Lindsay Anderson’s outrageous, brilliant, and surreal counterculture geared
film which features stunning photography in both black and white and color, plus an
ending that actually may shock modern audiences more than those of its time.
*** ½ out of ****
