Highly controversial in its time and still an undisputed example of shock cinema today.
A Clockwork Orange is a unique cinematic experience employing unsettling and ultimately long remembered scenes of violence set in a dystopian society not too far away from our own.
Dark, disturbing and visually arresting, this is vintage Kubrick. The director displays all his usual cynical and stylised touches and delivers a movie that is as abstract as it is shocking.
Misunderstood, much maligned and sometimes, even held in utter contempt, a Clockwork Orange is nevertheless an important and worthy Sci Fi classic.
