Once Upon a Time... A Clockwork Orange
Antoine de Gaudemar
2011 - 52 min - France

Supposed to take place in the future, the film is firmly rooted in the 60s, marked by the Vietnam War, the protest movements of the youth and the rise of insecurity in Western societies. In filigree we notice the fears aroused in England by the proliferation of youth gangs (rockers, mods, skinheads) as well as the political debates initiated by the proponents of anti-psychiatry against the psychological conditioning techniques and the abuse of chemical psychiatry. On an aesthetic level, A Clockwork Orange reflects its time, in the mixture of kitsch and psychedelic pop art, and through the music of the first electronic synthesizers composed by Walter Carlos.
