A Clockwork Orange
Drawing on new research in the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts London, Krämer's study explores the production, marketing and reception as well as the themes and style of A Clockwork Orange against the backdrop of Kubrick's previous work and of wider developments in cinema, culture and society from the 1950s to the early 1970s.

A very good, very detailed discussion of 'A Clockwork Orange', focusing on the themes of the film and how Kubrick presents these ideas, but also its reception (both public and critical).
As one of the most controversial and widely publicised films of the twentieth century, 'A Clockwork Orange' has had a history of rebuttal alongside acclaim. Kramer does a great job of examining why these objections might have been voiced, as well as situating the film in a historical and social context.
4 stars rather than 5 as I was expecting it to be more thematic than it was, but it was a good read all the same.
