The one and only. Banned in Britain (by the director himself) for 27 years, A Clockwork Orange is now regarded as an undisputed classic. Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess' novel is an operatic riot of language, style, and biting satire, with a legendary Wendy Carlos/Beethoven soundtrack.
In a futuristic Britain, a gang of thugs (droogs) controlled by one young man, Alex, run rampant - perpetrating rape, muggings, beatings galore. Eventually Alex is captured, subjected to experimental treatment to cure him of his anti-social tendencies, and released back into polite society...
"A merciless, demoniac satire in the future imperfect." - TIME Magazine
"At once [Kubrick's] most thematically problematic film and his most unforgettably sensational." - Village Voice
"Made in 1971, based on a novel from 1962, A Clockwork Orange resonates across the years." - Empire Magazine
