SUMMARY:A Clockwork Orange
DESCRIPTION:The Society of Analytical Psychology\n\nIn Partnership with\n\n
 EVERYMAN\n\nIN THERAPY\n\nAdapted from Anthony Burgess’s 1962 novella\, 
 Stanley Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange” is a thought-provoking\, comp
 elling and disturbing tale about ultra-violent youth gangs in a dystopian 
 future. The souring of the Swinging 60s got properly underway with this ra
 dioactively outrageous and audacious film\, presaging a new zeitgeist in t
 he 1970s of violence\, anger\, misogyny and the degradation of public spac
 e.\n\nThe setting is an unspecified English city. Crime is rampant with pr
 ison congestion reaching emergency levels. Gangs of young ruffians roam th
 e streets\, engaging in a virtually unchecked reign of terror of rape\, ro
 bbery\, beatings and murder. Alex Delarge leads a quartet of “droogs” 
 who spend their nights engaged in drug fuelled acts of grotesque violence.
  Later Alex is captured and selected for the Government’s experimental r
 ehabilitation programme.\n\nControversial when released\, the film was sel
 f-banned by Kubrick as he was badly shaken by press reports of real-life c
 rimes supposedly inspired by the film. Its tone is bitingly satirical\, om
 inous and razor-sharp in addressing the issue of dehumanisation of people 
 and the growth of sociopathic and psychotic extremities in Society. Unders
 tood as part allegorical cautionary tale\, part dark humour\, and part dra
 ma\, the film confronts the horror of the mindless and soulless world inha
 bited by Alex and his associates\, and the equally mindless and soulless r
 esponses delivered to Alex by the Government when he is captured. The dile
 mma is that acts against society are inextricably linked to a sickness and
  malaise within it. Sadism is a moral perversion in the outer world\, yet 
 mirror states of mind that we encounter in patients in their inner world.\
 n\nThe issues raised are as relevant to today’s society as they were whe
 n the film was made. These will be discussed following the film in a dialo
 gue between Rupert Tower (Jungian analyst) and Katherine Killick (Jungian 
 analyst)\, and chaired by Adam Reynolds (Head of Brand Partnerships\, Ever
 yman). Do join us!\n\nTo book: event page\n\n&nbsp\;
