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.

  • "The old ultra violence"

    This is an extremely violent film and a plausible view of the future. There is some sex which is hardly memorable because of the degree of violence, although there is one implied rape/murder scene. There is a vicious beating of an old drunk. There is another vicious fight between groups who somewhat recall the mods and rockers of the 60's. In this case, the white clad "mod" types beat up the dark clothed rockers. We are left with a scene of the victors standing over the vanquished, beating them on their heads with clubs. One wonders if it is a multiple homicide. It would be hard to find a film with more vicious one on one violence. Films like "Predator" feature multiple death by shooting. The leader, played by Malcolm McDowall is caught an imprisoned. He is introduced to the bible in an attempt at rehabilitation. He responds to this by reading the account of the scourging of Jesus by Roman soldiers, imagining himself as one of the soldiers applying the beating. Thus, the film presents a future of random violence inhabited by sociopaths. The film is from 1971. One might conclude that part of the vision has already materialized. For that reason I gave it a 4, as everything it shows is done well.
