Slooshy our A Clockwork Orange special, in which Anna, Hen and Pete analyse the impact of Kubrick's stylish, shocking dystopian adventure. A Clockwork Orange, which is on re-release across the UK at the moment, is based on the book by Anthony Burgess and pictures a near-future Britain, where propriety’s in the toilet, infrastructure’s on the skids and feral youth run wild. Among them is Alex, played by Malcolm McDowell, and his Droogs, a gang of violent thugs who bludgeon, rape and pillage their way through what’s left of polite society. In this episode we ask: What does A Clockwork Orange say about violence in film?; What makes McDowell as Alex quite so (worryingly) sexy? And just how many bowler hats does Anna own?
