The movie âA Clockwork Orangeâ by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel by Anthony Burgess, is one of the most significant in the filmography of the director. His innovation lies in the fact that Kubrick was able to aestheticize violence at the audiovisual level.

Music seems to ‘conduct’ the film, perfectly complementing every frame that you need to draw the attention of the viewer....
