Half a century on, A Clockwork Orange<\/em><\/a> remains a <\/span>source of controversy and discussion <\/span>despite being largely embargoed for nearly three of those five decades. To mark the 50<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> anniversary of the film\u2019s UK release on 13<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> January 1972 (following the December 1971 premiere in USA), we present Part Two of our investigation into A Clockwork Orange<\/em> film sets, furniture and d\u00e9cor details (see Part One he<\/a><\/span><\/span>re<\/a>) and the roles they play in telling a provocative story.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Set in a near-future Britain and based on the book of the same name by Anthony Burgess, the film was adapted, produced and directed by the one and only, Stanley Kubrick<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Exaggerated, electrifying and exuberant at every turn, A Clockwork Orange<\/em> brings us hyper-stylised film sets, vivid costumes, distinctive music by transgender composer Walter (later Wendy) Carlos, unusual use of language (<\/span>a mix of English, Russian and slang called Nadsat invented by Burgess) and an unforgettable <\/span>villain-antihero in the form of Alex DeLarge played by Malcolm McDowell<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
