A Clockwork Orange
Directed by Stanley Kubrick
1971
★ 8.7 editorial score
Kubrick pulled it from British cinemas himself after the reaction, and it stayed unavailable there for twenty-seven years: a state that enforces goodness, an invented slang, imagery nobody forgets.
“If you watch "Clockwork Orange" and see that this is the game Kubrick is playing with us, giving us an avenue into understanding the corrosion of society, the film may be appreciated as his finest masterwork in a career full of them. Certainly, it's his most human film, right next to "Lolita" in its refusal to judge its central character's sickness. That's the job of the audience.”
