A jolting tale of crime and punishment stars Malcolm McDowell as a young neo-punk who becomes the guinea pig for a state-sanctioned cure of his tendency toward ?the old ultraviolence.

Ein kleiner Ausflug in eine Zeit, die irgendwo zwischen Retroperspektive und düsterer Dystopie schwebt, uns die Frage nach menschlicher Moral in Bezug auf «menschliche» Gewalt und Boshaftigkeit vor den Kopf wirft und dabei nichts an schockierenden, zynischen und wegweisenden Elementen eingebüßt hat.
«Milk, anyone?»
Directed by: Stanley Kubrick
Cast: Malcom McDowell, Patrick Magee, Andrienne Corri, Miriam Karlin
Kubrick’s adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ novel is probably his most infamous film. A Clockwork Orange stars Malcolm McDowell, as Alex, a psychopathic criminal hooligan that stalks the streets of a futuristic London. Theft, assault, rape and murder are all everyday offenses of Alex and his gang of “droogs.”
When Alex is arrested and brainwashed into a proper citizen, Kubrick tackles issues of the duality of good and evil, the corruption of power, and the nature of human violence.
Kubrick had A Clockwork Orange pulled from UK theatres after a string of violent crimes that were thought to be inspired by the film. Today the film stands up as one of Kubrick’s most ambitious and controversial films.
