Why did Stanley Kubrick, eminent
director of A Clockwork Orange, withdraw his own film from
distribution? On the film’s 40th anniversary, assistant producer JAN
HARLAN sheds some light on the controversy.
Great artists, who are critical of their societies, are one of the
achievements of a free and democratic society. Stanley Kubrick was one of them.
He was a great observer of society. His film, A Clockwork Orange, is
still considered a worldwide success, for it stands out within its genre as a
work of art.
