It was so controversial upon its release in 1971 that it was withdrawn by Kubrick himself, and not seen again in the UK until after his death in 1999. 

Set in a flamboyantly stylised near-future where gangs of disenfranchised teenagers indulge in narcotic cocktails and revel in acts of ‘ultraviolence’, the film centres on anti-hero Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his band of droogs. 

This will be the first UK-wide re-release of A Clockwork Orange since 2000, enabling another generation to see it on the big screen.
