Based on the 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange shocked audiences with its brutal violence and rape scenes. The film proved highly controversial in the United Kingdom, with accusations that it inspired copycat crimes involving gang rape, manslaughter and adolescent violence. Hostility to A Clockwork Orange mounted, prompting Kubrick to ban its distribution in the UK, effectively preventing any further screenings until after his death in 1999.
This Kubrick masterpiece has never been screened commercially in Singapore. Perspectives is proud to present this rare opportunity to catch the restored digital print on the 40th anniversary of the film’s release.
