Stanley Kubrick’s A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)
January 10 : 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
“What our nightmares have accustomed us to see in dreams, Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange shows us in broad daylight. It is one of the most unsettling films in the whole of cinema.” –London Evening Standard
Being the adventures of a young man…who loved a bit of the old ultra-violence…went to jail, was brainwashed…and came out cured…or was he? In a futuristic welfare state, Alex, a vicious young hoodlum, sleeps all day and spends his nights roaming the city with his droogs (friends), assaulting innocent people in the streets and in their homes. Finally captured by the police, Alex undergoes rehabilitation in the form of aversion therapy as brutal and horrifying as any of his offenses. Stanley Kubrick’s disturbing adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ novel was hugely controversial in its day and remains a challenging and remains a wickedly alluring work. Powered by Malcolm McDowell’s ferocious lead performance and Wendy Carlos’ ironically bubbly synth score, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is a film of contradictions, at once freewheeling and frigid, ironic and deadly serious, hyper-violent and deeply, desperately humanistic.
