Lots of Fun at Finnegans Wake, with Anthony Burgess
1
Author-critic Anthony Burgess explores in a free-wheeling way perspectives of James Joyce's great experimental novel "Finnegans Wake". He is in the unusual setting of an Irish pub, utilizing a variety of props to illustrate his points. Burgess, erudite and ironic, brings in photographs, history and even sings a song from the book -- the "Ballad of Persse O'Reilly." All this with Burgess leaning on the big wooden bar of the pub. Internationally known author Burgess ("A Clockwork Orange", "ReJoyce", etc.) has always been fascinated by "Finnegans Wake", its idiosyncratic language, its enormously complicated structure, and its attempt to address those most universal human questions of life, death, sex, mind, and mankind's fall and resurrection.

It includes fantastic adaptations to film from passages of the novel.

Il était une fois… Orange Mécanique
7
Stanley Kubrick tourne Orange mécanique en 1971. Sur fond de délinquance juvénile, le film dénonce les techniques de conditionnement mental utilisées pour redresser les déviances. Censé se dérouler dans un futur proche, il est très ancré dans la fin des années soixante, marquée par la contestation anti-autoritaire des institutions et la montée de l'insécurité urbaine. Orange mécanique reste l'œuvre choc d'un visionnaire.
