A Clockwork Orange
1971, 131 minutes, Rated R
Stomping, whomping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating. Derby-topped teddy-boy hooligan Alex (Malcolm McDowell) has his own way of having a good time. He has it at the tragic expense of others.
Alex's journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen forms the dynamic arc of Stanley Kubrick's future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess' novel. Unforgettable images, startling musical counterpoints, the fascinating language used by Alex and his pals - Kubrick shapes them into a shattering whole. Hugely controversial when first released, A Clockwork Orange won the New York Film Critics Best Picture and Director honors and earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. The power of its art is such that it still entices, shocks and holds us in it grasp.
He doesn't just like ultra-violence, he enjoys drugs and Beethoven's 9th. He and his gang rampage through a dystopian future hunting for terrible thrills. But when Alex finds himself at the mercy of the State and subject to the controversial treatment of Dr. Brodsky, the government psychologist, he finds that fun is no longer the order of the day...- Director:
