Alex is the charismatic and cold-blooded leader of a London youth gang
who cultivates a love of classical music, extravagant clothes and violence. But when his friends, or ‘Droogs’, denounce him to the police after a holdup murder, the tables are turning. Subjected to the violence of the prison system, Alex becomes a helpless and submissive subject…
With its blunt confrontation of youth violence and social disciplining, Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Anthony Burgess’s novel can at times be difficult to watch, but it is without doubt a milestone in the history of film.
