BFI: Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange Heading Back to UK Cinemas
Posted February 20, 2019 06:58 PM by Webmaster
The British Film Institute has provided us with a promotional trailer for the theatrical re-release of Stanley Kubrick's classic film A Clockwork Orange (1971), starring Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Michael Bates, Warren Clarke, and John Clive. Screenings will begin in select cinemas across the country on April 5.
Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess's decline-of-civilisation novel remains a chilling, thrilling and unsettling cinematic vision of nihilistic violence and social control.
Set in a flamboyantly stylised near-future where gangs of disenfranchised teenagers indulge in narcotic cocktails and revel in acts of 'ultraviolence', the film centres on Alex (McDowell) and his band of droogs.
