R18+ | 136 Mins | Stanley Kubrick Spotlight | 1971 | 35mm | UK | D: Stanley Kubrick

A sadistic youth (Malcolm McDowell) leads a teen gang in acts of depraved violence, until he’s captured and tortured by the state.

Based on Anthony Burgess’ novel, the movie, which uses classical music by Rossini and Beethoven over savage attacks, challenges audiences not to look away.

‘This outlandish tale of dystopian delinquency remains deeply thought-provoking – but is not without troublesome elements.’ – The Guardian

Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.

Available as a 3-film Stanley Kubrick Spotlight pass with Barry Lyndon and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Learn more.
