Welcome to the Future (on 35mm Celluloid, where it belongs)

The novel William Burroughs once claimed was the only one he�d been able to get through in years has finally been made into a film, by the man who gave us Dr. Strangelove and 2001 and who has probably done more conclusive thinking about the shape of things to come for Western society than anybody else making movies today.

March 1, 1972
Lester Bangs

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE Directed by Stanley Kubrick Warner Bros.

The novel William Burroughs once claimed was the only one he�d been able to get through in years has finally been made into a film, by the man who gave us Dr. Strangelove and 2001 and who has probably done more conclusive thinking about the shape of things to come for Western society than anybody else making movies today. A Clockwork Orange is neither as witty as Strangelove nor stuffed with the kind of obfuscations, cheap head trips and semi-documentary bathrooms-of-Tomorro wland gimcrackery that bogged down 2001; rather, it takes a searing look at something much closer to the chemically and technologically controlled Utopias of our own real (and near) future.
