I talk to Théo Stöcklin to discuss the violence depicted in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange (1971). We debate the necessity and morality of such graphical violence which brought significant media attention at the time. We also discuss the other kinds of violence, including the systemic and psychological violence of the Ludovico experiment as well as the film’s misogynist gaze.
