A Clockwork Orange at Revival House Perth
Enter Stanley Kubrick's controversial and visionary 1971 masterpiece that confronts the darkest questions about free will, morality, and the nature of evil itself. In a dystopian near-future Britain, young Alex DeLarge leads his gang of "droogs" on nighttime rampages of ultra-violence until he's captured and subjected to an experimental psychological conditioning treatment designed to eliminate his capacity for violence.
Malcolm McDowell delivers a tour-de-force performance as Alex, creating one of cinema's most memorable antiheroes - charismatic, intelligent, and utterly without conscience. His love of Beethoven and classical music provides haunting counterpoint to his brutal actions, while his distinctive argot of "Nadsat" slang creates an alien linguistic landscape.
Kubrick's meticulous direction creates a world both futuristic and timeless, where the question isn't whether Alex deserves punishment, but whether society has the right to rob him of his humanity. The film's stunning production design and cinematography transform England into a surreal playground of violence and corruption.
Based on Anthony Burgess's novel, this philosophical exploration of behavioral conditioning, state control, and moral choice remains as provocative today as when it was first released. Kubrick's unflinching examination of violence and free will challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about civilization and human nature.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
