"riticized and condemned upon its release — director Stanley Kubrick even pulled it out of circulation in the U.K. for a time — A Clockwork Orange may seem relatively tame by today’s cinematic standards for society-in-moral-free-fall dystopias. But few of this extreme satire’s successors are as hilarious. Led by Malcolm McDowell’s liberatingly bratty performance as the degenerate droog Alex, this adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ 1962 novel remains bitterly funny (and wise) about all the"
" Notes: It was the first movie directed by Stanley Kubrick I saw and I can remember when I saw it for the first time. I was about 15 years old at the time and I was jut completely blown away by the whole thing. I mean, I had seen some good movies before but nothing like this. The thing that most impressed me, back then, is that even though it was made almost 25 years before, it felt actually really modern. This flick had basically everything : the visuals, the direction, the acting, the music, "

The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."

“Pertinent, propulsive and controversial, Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" was infamously banned upon its initial release, perhaps unfairly so, although such notoriety inevitably led to it languishing in obscurity for decades until critical reappraisal saw it being recognised as an overlooked, maligned work of art. Elevated in mainstream popularity by cultists and film buffs alike, "A Clockwork Orange" eventually found its audience, however, as with most of Kubrick's definitive oeuvre, turgid analysis of its themes, facets, layers and ideas ensure that it remains one of his most powerful, thought-provoking and divisive compositions, asserting that we are all cogs in a vast, inscrutable, mercenary machine.

"Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange is about uninspired moral negligence, and about its hero tuning into violence as entertainment and institutions using violence and brainwashing as a means of control. It’s Kubrick’s most prescient work, more astute and unsparing than any of his other films (and he had more where that came from) in putting the bleakest parts of human behavior under the microscope and laughing in disgust. It was made right after his other high watermark, 2001: A Space Ody"
"Una de las películas más importantes y más influyentes de la historia. La maestría de Stanley Kubrick se puede ver en cada plano, diálogo y corte de la película. A pesar de tener ya sus años, los temas que toca el film siguen manteniéndose relevantes, sumándole un guión excelente, imágenes inolvidables y uno de los personajes más carismáticos y memorables de la gran pantalla. Sin duda de las mejores que vi e imperdible para cualquiera que le apasione el cine."
