Country: UK, USA

Duration: 136'
Alex and his droogs march along the streets of suburban London: they are dressed in white (plus the black of their bowler hats) and Rossini, Beethoven and Singin’ in the Rain are playing in the background; they drink amphetamine-laced milk in the Korova Milk Bar and steal, punch and rape. But the powers that be in a society in the near future are more violent than they are. As shocking now as it was then, syncopated like a ballet of everyday monsters, provocative, ahead of its times, Kubrick’s masterpiece is based on the novel by Anthony Burgess.
