A Clockwork Orange at the AFI Silver
As part of its retrospective “The Films of Stanley Kubrick,” the American Film Institute’s Silver Theatre screens what is probably Kubrick’s most adventurous and bizarre classic. Released in 1971, A Clockwork Orange was based on Anthony Burgess’s novel, and was initially Rated X upon release for its graphic violence and subject matter. Malcolm McDowell astonishes as a Beethoven-loving ringleader of a band of thugs. The film carries a nihilistic chill like none other. Thursday, Aug. 16, at 9:20 p.m., Friday, Aug. 17, at 9:30 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 18, at 11:30 p.m. AFI Silver Theatre, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring. Tickets are $11. Call 301-495-6720 or visit afi.com/Silver.
