Second viewing.
Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess (1st ed. 1962).
A delinquent youth with authoritarian and sadistic traits is the leader of a gang in the near (?) future. He is arrested, and, while in prison, offered a new treatment which, it is claimed, would cure him of his antisocial tendencies.
Very stytlized farce, fairly amusing. The futuristic jargon seemed a good idea at the time, but today it comes off as a frivolity with no reason. When I saw it in a Brazilian theater back in 1982, censorship had all female's nipples and all genitals covered with dots superimposed upon the image.
