A Clockwork OrangeĀ (1971): Kubrick’s Disturbing, Violent Satire–Great Movie Beginnings

The Korova Milkbar

Starting with that strange eyelash, the scene continues to get weirder and weirder.

From the voice-over, to the sexualized mannequins, to men in matching white outfits drinking milk, this film signals quickly and efficiently its overall disturbing tone.

The Korova Milkbar is not a real place–it is a set built for the film.

Malcolm McDowell thought the film was going to be shot as a dark satire, but the movie goes way beyond that in its ultra-violent sequences.

A Clockwork Orange is a hard movie to define, in terms of genre. The first scene establishes the tone and strangeness of the movie’s London milieu.
