About this product

Product Information

From 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 A CLOCKWORK ORANGE announces itself as a completely new kind of viewing experience. 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. Kubrick based his chilling masterpiece on Anthony Burgess's culture-shaking novel about a young man growing into adulthood, but unable to shake his huge problem with authority figures. The first part of the film shows Alex (a career-defining performance by McDowell) and his "droogs" (his cohorts) indulging in what they refer to as "a little bit of the old ultraviolence." After establishing Alex and co. as unremitting psychopaths, Kubrick's movie changes tact, and shows Alex getting caught and forced to undergo controversial treatment that will make it impossible for him to commit violent acts, leading to a fascinating ending to the film. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE purposely confuses crime and punishment, cause and effect, hero and villain, irony and satire, and many other concepts, creating a truly unique work of art in the process. Its magnificent, colorful, futuristic set designs and utter determination to shock, frighten, and thoroughly entertain left audiences reeling in the '70s. Kubrick even withdrew the film from distribution in the UK, after reading newspaper reports of people dressing up as Alex and his Droogs and meting out their own brand of ultraviolence (it was subsequently rereleased after his death). One thing is for sure: No one who has seen it has ever been able to hear "Singin' in the Rain" or Beethoven again in quite the same way.

  • Classically Iconic

    This film takes a perfect look at overt correctness. Not to mention, it deals with how far people would go to get it. Granted, Alex wasn't a peach (He's not really supposed to be viewed as sympathetic. The in-universe equivalent of that trope gets played in the scene when he begs for someone to give him mercy in spite of all the crimes he's committed and how he volunteered for the treatment in order to be let out early. Not to mention, the book this movie is based on is written from his POV.). However, the Ludivico treatment ends up doing more harm to him than good. Especially when it comes to self-defense. Then, there is the fish-eye lens it takes. It has several strawmen and even one in the form of the minister of the prison, who views the treatment as counterproductive and gets glared ...
