Prendere a calci, bastonare, rubare, cantare, ballare il tip tap, stuprare: Alex (Malcolm Mc Dowell), il teppista con la bombetta, si diverte a modo suo. Tragicamente, a spese degli altri. Il percorso di Alex - da punk amorale ad onorato cittadino, previo lavaggio del cervello - viene ambientato in un futuro scioccante dall’ ardita interpretazione kubrickiana del romanzo di Anthony Burgess. Immagini indimenticabili, contrappunti musicali da brivido, l’ affascinante linguaggio usato da Alex e compari sono miscelati da Kubrick in un’ unità frammentaria. Assai discusso alla sua uscita (1971), Arancia Meccanica vinse i premi della Critica Cinematografica di New York per Miglior Film e Miglior Regista e si guadagnò quattro nomination all’ Oscar, compresa quella per Miglior Film. Quasi trent’ anni dopo, la forza della sua arte è intatta: continua ad attrarci e scioccarci, tenendoci incollati allo schermo.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
137 min
In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?
