Sci-fi meets punk in 80's New York City,
By A Customer
This review is from: Liquid Sky [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A story of aliens, sex and death set against the bleak (yet strangely alluring) backdrop of late-night 80's downtown New York City. However, this is the darker side of the 'Wall Street' 80's: over-indulgence occurs out of boredom and disdain.The plot revolves around a group of hipsters living on the edge of fashion, film and art. Aliens have somehow discovered that the life force they need is released in the human brain during orgasm (or heroin high) - and are thus attraced to this group. The life force is extracted, leaving the victims dead with a crystal prism lodged in their heads. None of this feels sad or unfortunate, as the film encourages the viewer to give in to the languid pace of allowing things to happen which are beyond our control. And there is so much more to the film than the mere plot. Highlights include punk attitudes, gothic costumes and uniquely gorgeous androgenous Anne Carlisle who plays an amazing double role: both the female diva lead and a disgruntled male hanger-on. Poetic and macabre lines are delivered in a wonderfully nonchalant and nihilistic manner. The budget is low but the filming is stylish, and there are fantastic rooftop settings throughout which border on the abstract. It won't cheer you up, but you will not easily forget this film.
