Don a bowler and brush up on your Nadsat for tonight's screening of Stanley Kubrick's radical classic A Clockwork Orange. The notorious adaptation of Anthony Burgess' novel follows Alex DeLarge (modern misfit Malcolm McDowell) as he carouses with his dumb-but-obedient droogs and causes ultraviolence in a near-future Britain. Tramps are trampled, and slang is esoterically but enjoyably slung, until Alex becomes an experimental subject for the state's sadistic Ludovico technique, which aims to divest him of old affinities. This consummate favorite is an eye-opening experience with a stylized slate of pessimism, satire, and mordantly imagined music — including the strangest rendition of "Singin' in the Rain" ever recorded.
