A Clockwork Orange

Stanley Kubrick’s disturbing crime thriller, A Clockwork Orange (1971), comes to the Phenomena this Wednesday. Based on Anthony Burgess’ novel of the same name, the film sees Alex, a charismatic sociopath and his band of ‘droogs’ embark upon drug-fuelled sprees of ‘ultra-violence’ across a dystopian, near-future London. The film explores themes of morality and what it is to be ‘good’, psychology and juvenile delinquency among other social, political and economic issues.
