Watch: 26-Minute Documentary 'Turning Like Clockwork' About Stanley Kubrick's Dose Of Ultraviolence

Stanley Kubrick was a director clinically unafraid to push the envelope, and more often than not, he made it his mission. Never was he an artist willing to rest on his laurels. His 1971 classic “A Clockwork Orange” is a perfect example of the filmmaker at his finest, testing just about every boundary put before him, and, in the end, creating something truly masterful and timeless. However, upon its release ‘Clockwork’ was rated X and deeply misunderstood as endorsing the violence perpetrated on screen—after its initial release in Britain the film became a sort of proxy, an excuse to explain “ultra-violence” already occurring around the country, whether or not it was related in any way. And not long after, Kubrick himself decided to withdraw the film from the country, making it nearly impossible to see it there for a quarter of a century.
