Her er hvad Cinemania 96 skriver om filmen (h�ber, du kan engelsk):
A Clockwork Orange
US (1971): Science Fiction
CineBooks' Motion Picture Guide Review: 4.0 stars out of 5

137 min, Rated R, Color, Available on videocassette and laserdisc
	Synopsis
Teenage delinquents Alex (Malcolm McDowell), Dim (Warren Clarke),
Georgie (James Marcus), and Pete (Michael Tarn) living in a futuristic
British state, indulge in nightly rounds of beatings, rapings, and, as
they call it, "ultraviolence." Among their victims is prominent writer
Mr. Alexander (Patrick Magee); they beat him senseless, and brutally
gang-rape his attractive wife (Adrienne Corri). (Mr. Alexander later
becomes manic, and his wife dies as a result of the attack). After
violently quelling an uprising among his own gang, Alex is betrayed by
them during an attack on another home, having been knocked senseless
and left for the police. In prison, he agrees to undergo experiments
in "aversion therapy" in order to shorten his term. Now nauseated by
the mere sight of violence, he is pronounced cured and released into
the outside world. There, vengeance of one kind or another is wreaked
upon him by his erstwhile fellow gang-members (now policemen), and by
his former victims (including Mr. Alexander). After another spell in
prison Alex returns home, where we expect him to resume his old
criminal ways.  
	Critique
Adapted from the novel by British author Anthony Burgess, A CLOCKWORK
ORANGE is a visually dazzling, highly unsettling work that revolves
around one of the few truly amoral characters in either film or
literature. It pits a gleefully vicious individual against a blandly
inhuman state, leaving the viewer little room for emotional
involvement (though McDowell gives such an ebullient, wide-eyed
performance as the Beethoven-loving delinquent that it is hard for us
not to feel some sympathy toward him). Meanwhile, we are dazzled by
Stanley Kubrick's directorial pyrotechnics�slow motion, fast motion,
fish-eye lenses, etc.; entertained by John Barry's witty, ostentatious
sets; and intrigued by dialogue laden with Burgess's specially created
slang  (gang members are "droogies," sex is "the old inout," etc.).
This is a particularly graphic film which has divided critics, but
which no serious moviegoer can afford to ignore.  
	Awards
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE won four Academy Award nominations: Best Picture;
Best Director; Best Adapted Screenplay; and Best Editing. The film was
also honored by the New York Film Critics Circle with awards for Best
Picture and Best Director.
