"A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick

From the Paper:

" The film A Clockwork Orange presents a vision of deviance in a future society, a society extrapolated from the growing urban crime problems of 1970 when the film was made. The exact year in which the film is set is not indicated, but it is likely somewhere around our current era. The film creates a sense of menace from the first, and yet at the same time, it uses strong imagery and high stylization to turn its dark vision into a black comedy. The concept of deviance by which sociologists try to explain aberrant and anti-social behavior, or behavior that goes against the norms of society, explains the delinquent activity in A Clockwork Orange, though the film undercuts a strict interpretation of crime as deviance by developing the idea that some crime is an expression of personal preference and inner freedom."
