AUDITORIUM

Another highly controversial film - even banned by its own director, shortly after release, only to re-emerge after Kubrick's death in 1999. Adapted from the 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess, it chronicles the lives of Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his 'droogs', who commit violence and intimidation in a dystopian vision of 1960s Britain. After the 'ultra-violence' reaches murderous proportions, Alex is deserted by his gang and receives a long prison sentence. But an experimental treatment is proposed, and Alex becomes the subject of aversion therapy. While invasive and painful, this seems to work, and Alex is released. No spoilers about how the story ends!
