A Clockwork Orange (DVD, 2007, 2-Disc Set, Special Edition)

Stanley Kubrick, Malcolm McDowell|Theatrical release: 1971 | Rating: R (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

Based on Anthony Burgess’s 1962 novel "A Clockwork Orange" is a masterpiece chronicling with evident satire the life of miscreants and its effect on society. An invaluable social commentary by Stanley Kubrick this two-disc set is a crime caper portraying the life of a gang of young hoodlums who spend their days robbing, fighting and raping women. Heading the gang is the sociopath and delinquent Alex (Malcolm McDowell), who is used in a government experiment to help reform violent misanthropes and help the society. A very dark and disturbing movie, "A Clockwork Orange" is a mockery of such organizations and questions their effectiveness. Containing visual, social, political and sexual elements, this two-disc set throws light on the rare way criminal minds work (Alex who is a rapist loves Beethoven). Additionally, "A Clockwork Orange" features great classical music that adds to the theme of the story. Watch this crime story for its stark realism and sensational visuals.

Editorial reviews

"...A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is still potent and though-provoking..."
Los Angeles Times - Steve Emmons (07/15/1999)

"...CLOCKWORK is a movie about movies -- and sex and power and music and Sovietism -- that works as a head trip by driving for the gut. Consider it Kubrick's most surrealistic feat..."
Entertainment Weekly - Entertainment Weekly Staff (06/13/2003)

"...It still shocks....Provocative..."
Total Film - Nick Clark (12/01/2000)

"...[The film] remains every bit as tantalising as it ever was..."
Sight and Sound - Dan Leigh (10/01/2000)

"[Featuring] the multiple charms of McDowell's performance."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (04/01/2004)

"Looking back now, CLOCKWORK ORANGE may be subversive, shocking, and sadistic. But it's also clearly a satire about free will." -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly - Chris Nashawaty (05/27/2011)
