A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian crime film written, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel of the same name and stars Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Adrienne Corri, Miriam Karlin, Michael Tarn, James Marcus, Warren Clarke and Anthony Sharp.
A Clockwork Orange is set in a futuristic Britain and follows Alex, a young delinquent who commands his army of droogs (from the Russian word друг, "friend", "buddy") into committing rape and "ultra-violence". The film chronicles the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and rehabilitation via an experimental and inhumane psychological conditioning technique. Alex narrates most of the film in Nadsat, a fractured adolescent slang composed of Slavic (especially Russian), English, and Cockney rhyming slang.
The film premiered in New York City on 19 December 1971 and was released in the United Kingdom on 13 January 1972. The film was met with polarised reviews from critics, and was also heavily controversial due to its depictions of graphic violence. It was later withdrawn from British cinemas at Kubrick's behest, and was also banned in several other countries. In the years following, the film underwent a critical re-evaluation and gained a cult following. It received several awards and nominations, including four nominations at the 44th Academy Awards.
The soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange features mostly classical music selections and Moog synthesizer compositions by Wendy Carlos. The artwork for the poster of A Clockwork Orange was created by Philip Castle with the layout by designer Bill Gold.
