Description:
A jolting tale of crime and punishment stars Malcolm McDowell as a young neo-punk who becomes the guinea pig for a state-sanctioned cure of his tendency toward ?the old ultraviolence.
Amazon.com essential video:
Stanley Kubrick's striking visual interpretation of Anthony Burgess's famous novel is a masterpiece. Malcolm McDowell delivers a clever, tongue-in-cheek performance as Alex, the leader of a quartet of droogs, a vicious group of young hoodlums who spend their nights stealing cars, fighting rival gangs, breaking into people's homes, and raping women. While other directors would simply exploit the violent elements of such a film without subtext, Kubrick maintains Burgess's dark, satirical social commentary. We watch Alex transform from a free-roaming miscreant into a convict used in a government experiment that attempts to reform criminals through an unorthodox new medical treatment. The catch, of course, is that this therapy may be nothing better than a quick cure-all for a society plagued by rampant crime. A Clockwork Orange works on many levels--visual, social, political, and sexual--and is one of the few films that hold up under repeated viewings. Kubrick not only presents colorfully arresting images, he also stylizes the film by utilizing classical music (and Wendy Carlos's electronic classical work) to underscore the violent scenes, which even today are disturbing in their display of sheer nihilism. Ironically, many fans of the film have missed that point, sadly being entertained by its brutality rather than being repulsed by it. --Bryan Reesman

A Clockwork Orange (Two-Disc Special Edition)
'A Clockwork Orange' the movie, whether accepted by the author of the book or not, is very witty, scary, shocking (even today), and humorous in several different instances.
It would be difficult to see a new adaptation of the movie without judging by how well crafted the original truly is.
This movie, although disturbing at times, is definately worth buying and adding it to your collection of classics. It will forever ... Read More

I was very hesitant to watch this movie at first. But once I watched it, I was blown away. A terrific movie and definitely one of my top 10 favorite movies.

Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange and Lindsay Anderson's O Lucky Man!
It all started with a movie called If... by Lindsay Anderson, starring a teenage actor named Malcolm McDowell. A coming-of-age story at an English boarding school, a Tom Brown's Schooldays with a violent, apocalyptic climax, as McDowell's Mick Travis and two of his friends take revenge on their sadistic tormenters by climbing up on the roof of the school and blasting away at the teachers and students with machine guns. Because ... Read More

This is, without a doubt, one of the most brilliant narratives in film history because it becomes clear that Malcolm McDowell's flippant, arrogant, insouciant anti-hero triumphs over society's best intentions at engineering compliance, and we agree, somewhat guiltily, with his point of view, albeit violent and horrifying. Viewers would do well to understand the symbolism of the number 4. The 4th movement of Beethoven's 9th plays throughout the film, but there are four acts of violence that he and his gang ...

This all new 2007 Digital Transfer of "Clockwork" is must for any fan of this film or films of Stanley Kubrick.
Colors are rich and the new transfer is crystal clear. After seeing so many grainy and faded versions throughout the years, it's great to see this film they way it should have looked like. Sound is quite a enhancement as well. As any fan of this film music is the utmost important factor too. So much classical music is played especially Beethoven.
The special features are ... Read More
