Product Information

From its opening shot of Malcolm McDowell staring with evil intent directly into the camera (which pulls back to reveal him drinking a glass of milk), Stanley Kubrick's brilliant A CLOCKWORK ORANGE announces itself as a completely new kind of viewing experience. The film, set in an unidentified future, overwhelms the senses with its almost comic depictions of rape and violence set to an upbeat classical and pop music score. Kubrick based his chilling masterpiece on Anthony Burgess's culture-shaking novel about a young man growing into adulthood, but unable to shake his huge problem with authority figures. The first part of the film shows Alex (a career-defining performance by McDowell) and his "droogs" (his cohorts) indulging in what they refer to as "a little bit of the old ultraviolence." After establishing Alex and co. as unremitting psychopaths, Kubrick's movie changes tact, and shows Alex getting caught and forced to undergo controversial treatment that will make it impossible for him to commit violent acts, leading to a fascinating ending to the film. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE purposely confuses crime and punishment, cause and effect, hero and villain, irony and satire, and many other concepts, creating a truly unique work of art in the process. Its magnificent, colorful, futuristic set designs and utter determination to shock, frighten, and thoroughly entertain left audiences reeling in the '70s. Kubrick even withdrew the film from distribution in the UK, after reading newspaper reports of people dressing up as Alex and his Droogs and meting out their own brand of ultraviolence (it was subsequently rereleased after his death). One thing is for sure: No one who has seen it has ever been able to hear "Singin' in the Rain" or Beethoven again in quite the same way.

Classic film in a great package.
An exhilarating, terrifying, uncanny, and sometimes comical ride into yesterday's future with one of cinema's greats, Stanley Kubrick, at the helm. Special features are excellent. Sound and color are excellent. My only criticism is that the edges of the picture are a little too soft.

Blue Ray Clockwork Orange
I ordered the Blue Ray in error - but my parents can use it so I it is part of their Christmas gift. The movie is excellent. So far ahead of it's time. For that time era it is a seriously sadistic and twisted film, but such a damn good story. Thank You

Fast Forward 50 years to Now
Anthony Burgess' fictional work "A Clockwork Orange" was supposed to be a satirical look to the future where teenage youths rule their parents with violence and political clout. Instead, architecture moved forward but the teens were left by the wayside dealing with opoids or heroin, when not abandoning their parents in homeless camps and the creep politicians ascended to control large voting factions with fiction or advertising clout. We no longer know where our leaders come from upon election with the disaffected populace largely sold out. .

True Kubrick mastery
If you've never seen Clockwork, get ready for an experience like no other. The extras alone are worth the price of this set, in particular McDowell talking about his role in the running commentary. Don't miss this one!

Not an upgrade from dvd
The movie picture quality wasn't any different from that of a DVD. Still a nice package with a book and special features though.
