Details:
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 honours 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 its grasp.
Review:
At the end of the century, Kubrick's notorious film was still unavailable for screening in the UK at the request of the film-maker himself. But despite, or perhaps because of, that, it retains an enduring underground popularity. This adaptation of Anthony Burgess's celebrated novel is truly harrowing, disturbing cinema. It traces the anti-social antics of Alex (the excellent Malcolm McDowell) and his gang as they make their violent way around the city. Eventually captured, he is made 'safe' - a 'clockwork orange', healthy and whole on the outside, but what of the inside?
