Beethoven's 9th (or is it 5th?) will never sound quite the same again after this film. Futuristic thuggish violence, including some blood-curdling sexual assaults, in an utterly surreal setting. Showing its age - well pre mobile phones - this film nonetheless shows you how differently you can portray the future from Sleepers or Minority Report. The film was banned for years but is nonetheless (accordingly?) a cult classic - and deservedly so.
