Stanley Kubrick's controversial film triggered copycat violence on
its initial release and as a result the director withdrew the film
from circulation in Britain, keeping it suppressed right up to his
death in 1999. The film follows sadistic punk Alex (Malcolm
McDowell) as he takes his gang on a rape and murder spree, showing
absolutely no mercy to any of his victims. When he is eventually
captured, the authorities subject him to a series of experiments
designed to rid him of his violent tendencies.
A collection of films by Liverpudlian filmmaker Terence Davies.
'The Terence Davies Trilogy' comprises three short films:
'Children' (1976), 'Madonna and the Child' (1980) and 'Death and
Transfiguration' (1983). Taken together, the three films trace the
life of Robert Tucker, the director's alter ego, from childhood to
the grave. 'Distant Voices, Still Lives' (1988) looks back on
Davies's working class upbringing in post-war Liverpool. Told in
flashback, the films begins and ends with family weddings, held
several years apart, and is scored with songs from the period. 'The
Long Day Closes' (1992) traces moments in the childhood of Bud
(Leigh McCormack), a Liverpudlian schoolboy in 1955. Plucked from
his cosy home when he is sent to his new Catholic school, the film
looks at his loneliness as teachers and pupils pick on him and his
increasing isolation at home as he hovers between childhood and
adolescence. His beloved film idols and screen stories keep him
company in his imagination but in the real world he feels
increasingly like a misfit. 'Of Time and the City' (2008) is a
highly personal portrait of Davies's native city, Liverpool, and
shares his musings on his relationship with the place where he was
born and lived until his late twenties. Composed largely of
atmospheric archive footage accompanied by Davies's lyrical
narration and a melancholy, nostalgic soundtrack, the film
seamlessly intersperses Davies's personal memories and experiences
with observations about the history and culture of this iconic
city.
