Michael Bates’s Typical Vibe
2 films — measured, dark, intense, layered, uneasy
In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?
Dir. Stanley Kubrick · With Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Carl Duering
London is terrorized by a vicious sex killer known as The Necktie Murderer. Following the brutal slaying of his ex-wife, down-on-his-luck Richard Blaney is suspected by the police of being the killer. He goes on the run, determined to prove his innocence.
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock · With Jon Finch, Barry Foster, Barbara Leigh-Hunt
