About

Adapted from the novel with the same name by Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian tale set in the near future, where gangs of teenagers give free rein to their instincts and unbridled brutality, to the sound of Beethoven and "Singin' in the Rain". At the time of its premiere, the film was cut by censorship in several countries, but over the years it achieved a cult status. It is a political parable that deals with real social, political (the “control” of individuals by the “Government”) and economic issues, with images typical of the aesthetics of the seventies and fabulous interpretations. Kubrick, whom Orson Welles called “a giant”, among the younger generation's filmmakers, whom Martin Scorsese said was “a genius”, with enormous talent and ability to tell stories, resumes, in A Clockwork Orange, as Enrico wrote Ghezzi, more “human” concerns (violence, individual freedom), “showing us all the ways in which the cinematographic show works: over the eye, over the ear”. (Stanley Kubrick, ed. Il Castoro).
