In future England, Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his “Droogs” spend their nights getting high at the Korova Milkbar before embarking on “a little of the old ultraviolence.” After he’s jailed for bludgeoning a woman to death, Alex submits to a behavior modification technique to earn his freedom. He’s conditioned to abhor violence, returned to the world defenseless, and becomes the victim of a prior victim.
Stanley Kubrick’s films are lush, meticulously executed, brimming with beautiful color, and incredibly cold. A Clockwork Orange (1971), based on the popular novel by Anthony Burgess, is no exception. Join us for our season finale, as we discuss this controversial movie—its origins, the magnificent Malcolm McDowell, and the public response. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys journeys to dystopian London, where violent thugs terrorize the streets and science provides a unique twist on conversion therapy.
