Additional InformationFrom its opening shot of Malcolm McDowell staring with evil intent directly into the camera (which pulls back to reveal him drinking a glass of milk), Stanley Kubrick's brilliant CLOCKWORK ORANGE announces itself as a completely new kind of viewing experience. Banned in Britain for decades, the film, set in an unidentified future, overwhelms the senses with its almost comic depictions of rape and violence set to an upbeat classical and pop music score; its magnificent, colorful, futuristic set designs; and its utter determination to shock, frighten, and thoroughly entertain its audience. Kubrick based his chilling masterpiece on Anthony Burgess's culture-shaking novel about a young man, growing into adulthood, who has a bit of a problem with authority figures. (Interestingly, Burgess's stunning piece of fiction contains 21 chapters, but Kubrick ends his film after chapter 20.) When Alex (a career-defining performance by McDowell) and his droogs go out for a little bit of the old ultraviolence, he is caught and forced to undergo controversial treatment that will make it impossible for him to commit violent acts--but has severe side effects. Kubrick's film purposely confuses crime and punishment, cause and effect, hero and villain, irony and satire, filled with oxymoron and paradox, taking on science, politics, societal mores, education, sexual awakening, and parental responsibility all in a new language (both verbal and visual) that would change the cinema forever. No one who has seen it has ever been able to hear "Singin' in the Rain" or Ludwig van again in quite the same way.

    This is probably the best film I've ever watched, it's full of hidden meanings and was created by a very intelligent man! The DVD was also in perfect condition!

    Absolutely TERRIBLE.

    I read 'A clockwork Orange' by Anthny Burgess about 15 years ago.At the end of the book, the author stated that he was not at all pleased with the way Stabley Kubrick made his film. I stoppd watching after about 15 minutes because I found the film to be absolutely terrible. Read the book first. Then try the film.

  • Classic Brit film by Kubric.

    Brilliant film adaptation from the book of the same name. Stanley Kubric fleshes out the marvellous cast from Anthony Burgess' distopian novel of teen violence and its consequences.
