Malcolm McDowell is incredibly interesting to listen to. He seems to have a caustic sense of humor and you can tell from the tone of his voice and what he says that he and Kubrick didn't always see eye to eye on everything.

Some people may consider it hubris but I was impressed when McDowell said that he knew he was "ready" to play the role of Alex when he was offered the role.

Totally agree with Londo Mollari above. One of the better commentaries I've listened to recently and probably my favorite of the new Kubrick commentaries listened to so far. Not to diss Redman but could have almost dropped him and just listened to McDowell go on for hours. But Redman has prod and probe like the very good scholar that he is. McDowell is a witty and entertaining raconteur - it's like he's gathered the kids around the fireplace to chat about Uncie Stan. Highly recommended.

This was most excellent; informative, interesting, insightful... It painted an unexpectedly personal picture of Kubrick. McDowell is compelling to listen to, although everything is "brilliant, brilliant, brilliant" - Well, I suppose it is, so he gets a pass! I got a kick when they discussed the composer, Wendy (then Walter)Carlos, McDowell kept referring to "him" and Redman kept over-emphasizing the name "Wendy". Great track...

McDowell is truly a unique voice, lending us his most personal of experiences in working with Kubrick. I was thrilled that his facts didn’t just repeat what’s on the special features. Scenes like the unparalleled “eye gauging” scene are when McDowell is most useful. A great track.

Things get off to an inauspicious start when McDowell confidently, but erroneously, declares that the Korova Milk Bar was the only set in the film. So as with other McDowell commentaries some of what he says clearly needs to be treated with caution. That aside, this is, for the most part, a vastly entertaining track as our (not so humble) narrator/commentator talks us through a film he admits he resented for a long time, feeling it overshadowed his other work, but now accepts as the high watermark of his career.
Along the way McDowell offers a wealth of interesting information and anecdotes about the shoot, including several stories of Stanley which are sure to raise a smile (even if some of their supposed dialogue exchanges don't really ring true).
All of which means that co-commentator Redman is rendered largely superfluous - he's also under-prepared, not even having a cast list to hand, which leaves them both struggling to try and remember the name of the actor who played Dr Brodsky.
Redman does at least raise the question of the age disparity between the actor and the character he was playing, but McDowell quickly dismisses this as "meaningless" (sorry, Malcolm, you may have been "born to play this part" but you were still born too late).
McDowell clearly has plenty of respect (if not reverence) for his director, and he also has plenty of praise for his fellow actors (several of whom he claims to have had a direct hand in casting), but he seems even more impressed with the lighting which he draws attention to in scene after scene in an act of almost Kubrick-like obsession to detail!
There are a couple of silences over the 2¼ hours, and occasionally McDowell is guilty of simply repeating/anticipating the film's dialogue, but it's never long before something on-screen triggers another amusing memory/story.
So a track which is perhaps more for fans than film scholars but one which will provide plenty of entertainment for anyone who cares to listen.
