I've been wanting to watch this film for the last 10 years, Sadly it has not been available until two weeks ago when it arrived on a glorious Criterion two disc DVD. Malcolm McDowell pre Clockwork Orange (Which of course is my favorite movie) is brilliant. The transfer on this almost 40 year old film is one of the best i have ever seen. The movies themes are very interesting to watch based on the numerous school shooting that have occurred over the last few years. This movie deals with motif a little better than Gus Van Sant's Elephant, even though the movie are very different i can not help see the similarities in the two films. Do yourself a favor and check out Malcolm in this film. This film, Clockwork, and Caligula are classic McDowell in great form as usual. Next up for me is maybe try to finally watch Time after Time another film that has been on my list for some time. Let's hope Criterion puts out the two sequels O Lucky Man! and
