Moratorium

A curious bit of trivia about A Clockwork Orange is that it was pulled from theatrical circulation in the U.K. and Ireland until his death in 1999. The reason being that the film was being blamed for various acts of violence throughout the region, which Kubrick didn’t care about. At first.

That was until he was in the process of filming Barry Lyndon, he and his family not only received death threats, but threats that would be designed to mimic the infamous attack by Alex and the droogs. Kubrick made the studio pull the film from that part of the world as long as he was alive.
