Having allegedly withdrawn his own film from British cinemas after it was linked to copycat violence, Stanley Kubrick claimed that A Clockwork Orange would never again be seen on this side of the Atlantic. Only one week after his death in 1999 however a London cinema was already planning a screening of this controversial, highly stylised shocker about a futuristic dystopian world lost to superficial posturing and violence. Malcolm McDowell is the leader of a disaffected gang of youths, known as the Droogs, who undergoes aversion therapy in order to control his violent impulses, which results in his own loss of identity and freedom. Walter Carlos wrote a striking electronic score embellishing and re-inventing classical pieces to stunning effect, inspired by Beethoven, Purcell and Elgar, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. Carlos, who later became Wendy Carlos following a sex change operation and long time partner, Rachel Elkind, later went on to work with Kubrick for a second time on ‘The Shining’.
