This is my favourite film of all time.
It is odd and it isnt odd but you certainly have to 'get it'. Kubrick made cinema in a way that challenged the brain i thought and made you really think about what you were watching, maybe thats the most odd bit about it? Something thats is mostly not done now. Easy to be brainless watching a film of today.
Never read the book, think im going to have to now.
What is the tenuous link?
