A Clockwork Orange (1971)
12015-10-17T20:20:33-07:00Phil Ethingtone37d40405599cccc3b6330e6c4be064cc03ef7a56778Warner's poster is organized around an A for Alex. The tip of that A features a phallic knife in the hands of the "delinquent" Alex (Malcolm McDowell). Inside the open "legs" of the A is the "Milk Bar" figure, a naked woman in a submissive position also with her legs spread. The piercing knife above thrusts in the same direction, although artfully, not literally into the open inverted V[agina]. Lest this reading seem too sexually violent, the film's plot-generating scene in Act I is the graphic gang rape of Mrs. Alexander (Adrienne Corri)--her only role in the film because in the plot Mrs. Alexander commits suicide after this trauma.
