A Clockwork Orange (Kubrick, 1971): BFI Southbank, Studio, 8.30pm


This film, is part of the Stanley Kubrick season at BFI Soutthbank, and on an extended run at the cinema. You can find the full details here.

Guardian review: 
Stanley Kubrick greeted the 1970s with this massive howl of rage: a boiling, combative screed as different as humanly possible from 2001’s paean to cosmic harmony which preceded it. Kubrick is taking aim at the powers-that-be, unable to effectively contain the problems in their midst, alternating between quasi-fascist social control and absurdly indulgent liberalism. Like Full Metal Jacket, this film’s first half is where the real goodies are: if truth be told, the fireworks tail off towards the back end as Alex successively re-encounters his victims. But what fireworks they are.
