But I will say that Malcom Mcdowell put on a hell of a performance.
It's not 70s British- it's future slang. The book is written with quite a bit of it. They toned it down for the movie, but you still get a feeling for it. Perhaps this led to the confusion which hampered your understanding of and appreciation for the film.
