Overall, the movie works very well today - much of it struck me as audacious and its view of Britain still very apposite. Unfortunately, I found the commentary by Malcolm McDowell and David Sherwin rather uninteresting, missing out on a lot of detail. For McDowell, it was a let down after his commentary on Clockwork Orange.
