by Stanley Kubrick (Author), Anthony Burgess (Author)

See all formats and editions

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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

At their best, screenplays are one of the most dynamic and immediate forms of literature. The screenplay is the blueprint of a film, and it’s the writing, above all, that attracts the director, the stars, and the money. This handsome series of books from ScreenPress presents some of the best writing in contemporary film.

Terrific.

I've wondered for a while if Stanley Kubrick should actually have been a graphic novelist. His obsessive control of his sets, actors, and pieces is far more suited to the auteur basis of graphic novels. If such books were more accepted as 'legitimate' by aesthetes, maybe he would have been. This is about as close to that as anything, and I actually prefer consuming this book to watching the movie. This thing is pretty cool.

A Unique Document of a Unique Film

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2018

I bought this book in the 1970s, and have read it many, many times. As one reviewer noted, it is not the screenplay. BUT, it's much better!

The book seems to go cut-by-cut through the film. Under each cut is the dialog within that cut. As such, the book is a final reference to ACO. There IS one error in this book. If this is the same edition, then you are challenged to find it! Unfortunately, I ruined my copy by writing in it to "move" the error to its proper place. Oh, well. I have no intention of selling it!

If you love this movie - if you love Kubrick - this is a must-have.

Misleading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2011

This is not set out in the conventional screenplay form. Scene setup and action is mostly missed out in this badly thought out book. If you're hoping to use this script for some kind of assignment, like I was, it is useless because it is not the proper script. To summarise - only buy this if you want to read for fun. Still, a good read.
