A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
August 9, 2013  | By David Bianculli

Sundance, 9:45 p.m. ET

 

This 1971 Stanley Kubrick film, based on the futuristic, linguistically inventive novel by Anthony Bugess, is the film that inspired me to be a professional critic. When this movie came out, I was so disturbed by it, yet so impressed, that I went back many times, just to watch it over and over again, focusing on different elements each time to figure out what Kubrick was doing. What he was doing, I finally figured out, was making a cinematic masterpiece. It starts at the Korova milk bar, and never looks back… Viddy well, my droogies.
