> The 2023 documentary Orange mécanique, les rouages de la violence (in English, A clockwork orange: the prophecy)

I don't speak French, and yet something leads me to believe that's not a direct translation.



A direct translation is: "A Clockwork Orange, the workings (machinery pieces [1]) of violence."

An even more literal alternative is: "A mechanical orange, the machinery pieces of violence."

I would've said the gears of violence (though French is a second language for me).


It's not, it's the English title of the documentary.
