The screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s disturbing and exhilarating masterpiece, featuring 800 film stills chosen by the director.

This unique illustrated screenplay features 800 still images from “A Clockwork Orange,” selected by Stanley Kubrick when the film was first released in 1971. As Kubrick comments in his introduction: “I have always wondered if there might be a more meaningful way to present a book about a film. To make, as it were, a complete graphic representation of the film, cut by cut, with the dialogue printed in the proper place in relation to the cuts, so that within the limits of still photos and words, an accurate (and I hope interesting) record of a film might be available… This book represents that attempt.”

Screenplay by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel by Anthony Burgess.

Stanley Kubrick was an influential American filmmaker, screenwriter and producer. He directed a number of highly acclaimed and sometimes controversial films. Kubrick was noted for the scrupulous care with which he chose his subjects, his slow method of working, the variety of genres he worked in, his technical perfectionism, and his reclusiveness about his films and personal life.

The photonovel of the film, very much in the style that was pioneered by Richard J. Anobile, means that every single shot is represented by a still image, and there is corresponding dialogue placed right underneath it.

With the advent of video, DVD, and other modern technologies, this kind of thing might seem unnecessary. However, it still has a certain cool factor to it.

Unfortunately, this particular photonovel is in black and white, which is quite disappointing. If it were presented in colour (where it is appropriate), I would be more than happy to study the photonovel editions of all of K's movies.

It would offer a unique and interesting perspective on the films, allowing fans to explore the stories and characters in a different way.

Despite its limitations, the photonovel still has its charm and could potentially attract a niche audience of film enthusiasts who are looking for something a little different.

Perhaps in the future, more photonovels will be produced in colour, giving fans even more to enjoy.

Until then, we can still appreciate the efforts that have been made to create these unique and interesting visual interpretations of our favourite films.

No me mato.


I understand that it deals with extremely transcendental themes at the same time, and it is an icon of culture. However, I feel that it is not for me.


Nor is it what I am looking for in books.


It is for those kids who say that their favorite movie is Fight Club. Maybe they are attracted by the unique style and the bold exploration of human nature in it. But for me, it just doesn't click. I have my own preferences and what I truly desire from reading is something different. Something that can touch my heart in a more profound way and offer me a different kind of inspiration and enlightenment.

O my droogs and brothers, the other day the devochka and your humble servant were down at the kino to viddy, what else, A Clockwork Orange. We had just reached the home invasion scene. Malcolm McDowell was kicking Mr. Alexander in the litser while Dim was cutting holes in Mrs. Alexander's dress to get a better look at her groodies, all to the joyous accompaniment of Singin' in the Rain. Suddenly, I had what they call an epiphany. It was as clear as if I'd been in his gulliver listening to his innermost thoughts in glorious stereo. I knew why Donald Trump always looks so happy.


I wonder, does he like Beethoven? Maybe he finds joy in the powerful and majestic music of Beethoven. Or perhaps it's something else entirely that brings a smile to his face. Could it be his sense of achievement, his wealth, or his influence? Only he truly knows. But whatever it is, it's clear that he has a source of happiness that keeps him looking so upbeat.


Maybe we should all take a page from his book and find our own sources of joy. Whether it's through music, art, or simply spending time with loved ones, there are many ways to find happiness in this world. So let's go out there and viddy what makes us happy!

Read this because the movie was such a groundbreaker. It was truly a revolutionary piece of work that left a lasting impact on the industry.


However, it's not easy to read. The language and dialogue are intense, filled with a plethora of slang and completely made-up words that pepper every sentence. This can make the reading experience quite challenging and require a great deal of effort.


That being said, the story is amazing. It takes the reader on a thrilling journey, filled with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. If you can make it all the way through, it is truly an experience and an achievement.


So don't be the guy that only saw the movie. Take the time to read the source material and discover the depth and complexity that lies within. You won't be disappointed.

This piece of writing is very hard to follow.

It presents a rather strange and savage nature, which makes it not a wholesome read.

The content seems to lack a clear structure and logical flow, leaving the reader confused and perhaps even a bit uncomfortable.

The strange and savage elements might be off-putting to many, as they do not conform to the norms of what is considered a pleasant or beneficial reading experience.

It is important for written works to engage the reader in a positive way and provide some sort of value or entertainment.

However, this particular piece fails to achieve that, leaving much to be desired in terms of its overall quality and appeal.

Perhaps with some revisions and improvements, it could become a more engaging and worthwhile read.

But as it stands now, it is a rather lackluster and unappealing piece of writing.

I've often wondered for quite some time now if Stanley Kubrick should truly have been a graphic novelist.

His obsessive and meticulous control over his sets, actors, and every single piece within his works is eminently more suited to the auteur basis that underpins graphic novels.

If such books were held in higher regard and more widely accepted as 'legitimate' by aesthetes, perhaps he would have indeed made that transition.

This particular work in question is about as close to that ideal as anything could be.

In fact, I find that I actually prefer consuming this book to watching the movie adaptation.

There's something truly captivating and cool about this thing.

It offers a unique perspective and a different kind of immersion that the movie might not fully capture.

The detailed illustrations and the way the story is presented in a graphic novel format add a new dimension to the overall experience.

It makes me think about how Stanley Kubrick's artistic vision could have potentially flourished even more in the world of graphic novels.

The writer is truly remarkable as he creates his own playful language.

This unique form of expression adds a distinct charm and flavor to the work.

It is a brilliant set of ideas that are brought to life in the most captivating way.

The film, which is based on these ideas, is also nothing short of brilliant.

It showcases the writer's creativity and imagination in a visually stunning and engaging manner.

The use of the playful language throughout the film adds an element of fun and lightheartedness, making it a truly enjoyable experience for the viewers.

Overall, both the ideas and the film are a testament to the writer's talent and ingenuity.

They leave a lasting impression and are sure to be remembered for a long time.

I won't say what caught my attention, but the plot and delivery are interesting. It's worth checking out, especially if the themes of puberty and violence are of interest to you.

This article seems to hint at a story or work that has elements that are both engaging and thought-provoking. The mention of puberty and violence suggests that it may explore some complex and perhaps controversial topics.

It could be a novel, a movie, a play, or even a research paper. Without further details, it's difficult to say exactly what it is.

However, the fact that the author describes the plot and delivery as interesting makes it seem worth taking a look.

Maybe it will offer new perspectives on these themes or present them in a unique and engaging way.

Whether you're a fan of stories that deal with difficult subjects or just looking for something new and different, this could be worth checking out.
