A Clockwork Orange
Show notes
"Viddy well, little brother, viddy well." It's time for a little ultra-violence and the old in-out, in-out as Wayne Kramer and Barry Germansky take a deep dive into Stanley Kubrick's dystopian masterpiece A Clockwork Orange, a film that brought about global condemnation, moral panic, and snapping censor's shears in response to the legendary filmmaker's adaptation of Anthony Burgess' satirical novel on free will versus totalitarianism. ACO still packs a punch and retains the power to shock and elucidate, even as the film's modern critics remain conflicted over its ultra-stylized violence, explicit nudity, and mixed messaging. Our hosts have been subjected many a time to the Ludovico Technique and remain in awe of this 1971 classic. Press the button, little brother, and all will be revealed.
