Thanks for the review, but I don't understand why you'd expect a medium budget film like
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE that was filmed in standard 35mm to match the visual quality of a big-budget epic like
2001 that was filmed in 65mm. Beyond that,
CLOCKWORK was shot with very small, light-weight cameras using often extreme wide-angle lenses so Kubrick could hand-operate the shots and was filmed almost entirely on real locations in an almost improvisational style, whereas
2001 was a precisely controlled, studio bound film. The two films share the same director but stylistically they're night-and-day and they're respective looks reinforce this.
