It was written, directed and produced by [[Stanley Kubrick]]. It is based on [[Anthony Burgess]]' 1962 short [[novel]] ''[[A Clockwork Orange]]''. It includes disturbing, violent images. Its social commentary touches on [[psychiatry]], youth [[gang]]s, and other [[social]], [[political]] and [[economic]] subjects in a [[dystopia]]n vision of a not-too-future Britain. Kubrick stopped the film being shown in Britain, concerned about its possible effects. For 27 years, it was difficult to see the film in the United Kingdom. It reappeared in cinemas and the [[VHS]] and [[DVD]] releases followed, soon after Kubrick's death in 1999. In 2020, A Clockwork Orange was selected by the Library of Congress into the United States National Film Registry. == Cast == * [[Malcolm McDowell]] as Alex DeLarge (or Burgess) * [[Warren Clarke]] as Dim * [[James Marcus]] as Georgie * [[Patrick Magee (actor)|Patrick Magee]] as Frank Alexander * [[Adrienne Corri]] as Mrs. Alexander * Carl Duering as Dr. Brodsky * Madge Ryan as Dr. Branom * [[Godfrey Quigley]] as Prison Chaplain * [[Anthony Sharp]] as Minister (of Interior) * Sheila Raynor as Mum * [[Philip Stone]] as Dad * [[David Prowse]] a
