A Clockwork Orange has been accused of glorifying violence. It shows, to our dismay, that we are all capable of taking pleasure in brutal attacks on innocent victims. It's easy to wish we didn't have this attraction to violence, but what would happen if we were 'cured' of it?

Part of our Philosophy at the Showroom series. In association with the University of Sheffield, probing the philosophical questions raised by some of cinema's most intriguing films.
