Product Description
Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee. 1971/color/136 min/R. In this dark and dazzling sci-fi classic, the future runs full throttle on decay, ultra-violence and twisted technology resulting in drastic, disturbing measures to reform criminals. A gripping masterpiece directed by Stanley Kubrick.
We watch Alex transform from a free-roaming miscreant into a convict used in a government experiment that attempts to reform criminals through an unorthodox new medical treatment. Stanley Kubrick's striking visual interpretation of Anthony Burgess's famous novel is a masterpiece. The catch, of course, is that this therapy may be nothing better than a quick cure-all for a society plagued by rampant crime. --Bryan Reesman Kubrick not only presents colorfully arresting images, he also stylizes the film by utilizing classical music (and Wendy Carlos's electronic classical work) to underscore the violent scenes, which even today are disturbing in their display of sheer nihilism. Malcolm McDowell delivers a clever, tongue-in-cheek performance as Alex, the leader of a quartet of droogs, a vicious group of young hoodlums who spend their nights stealing cars, fighting rival gangs, breaking into people's homes, and raping women. Ironically, many fans of the film have missed that point, sadly being entertained by its brutality rather than being repulsed by it. A Clockwork Orange works on many levels--visual, social, political, and sexual--and is one of the few films that hold up under repeated viewings. While other directors would simply exploit the violent elements of such a film without subtext, Kubrick maintains Burgess's dark, satirical social commentary.
