Banned by the director himself following death threats to his family, Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange returned to UK cinemas following his death in 1999 and now, 20 years later, is back on the big screen courtesy of a British Film Institute re-release.
Coinciding with the BFI's comprehensive Kubrick retrospective, A Clockwork Orange will play in cinemas across the UK from April 5th.
Check out the BFI's new trailer below.
Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Anthony Burgess’s decline-of-civilisation novel remains a chilling, thrilling and unsettling cinematic vision of nihilistic violence and social control.
Set in a flamboyantly stylised near-future where gangs of disenfranchised teenagers indulge in narcotic cocktails and revel in acts of ‘ultraviolence’, the film centres on Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his band of droogs.
