DVD Reviews of Liquid Sky
DVD Review: This Gay New York
Summary: 4 Stars
A movie is as much amusing as New York City itself: mix of beautiful-looking characters using drugs, making love and enjoying life by ways considerable as aliens present just try having their part in actions mystically.
It is better ones to watch than try grasping a sense and context of this work by reading the commenting.

DVD Review: LIQUID SKY
Summary: 4 Stars
'LIQUID SKY' is one of the most irritating, weird and oddly watchable movies ever made. Centered around the underground world of Margaret played by Anne Carlisle, a heroin-soaked fashion model but fashions more suited to Barnum @ Bailey than Park Avenue. Heroin hungry aliens in a pie-plate sized saucer land on Margarets rooftop because the aliens have discovered a heroin-like substance is secreted in the brain at the point of orgasm and Margaret unknowingly dispatches a few donors to the aliens thirst. Each victim is left with a crystal obelisk imbedded deep into their skull-the meaning of the obelisk? Who knows? But in this movie-you just accept it.
Margaret shares her apartment with a vile, foul-mouthed gnome played by Paula Sheppard who is a heroin-pusher and a bizzaro performance artist who performs a rant about the joys of her "rhythm box".
An Alien chasing German scientist arrives by plane in NYC to stake out the activities on Margarets rooftop. How he tracked the aliens in Ny from Germany is never explained. He finds a willing assistant in a Jewish matron who lives across from Margarets apartment building. In one of the most amusing scenes the woman phones in a take-out order from a Chinese restaurant and she orders every item from column A and column B as long as the items contain shrimp.
Margaret soon catches on to the cause of the demise of her sex partners and begins to seek revenge on her tormentors including a rapist and a gay fashion model named Jimmy also acted by Anne Carlisle and during a fashion shoot in her apartment she performs a "service" for Jimmy and of course Jimmy ends up with the crystal obelisk in his head. She wanders onto her rooftop more heroin soaked than usual and is sucked into the aliens saucer which then takes off in search of a new supply of heroin.
The film is so heroin obsessed that it pictures the Empire State Building with its reed-thin radio antenna, looking like a humongous hypodermic needle.
This film is definetly not for everyone but if you have a taste for the unusual and yes, very strange and have a lot of patience, you may find the movie worth watching..........but it is bizarre!

Summary: 4 Stars
A very quirky movie about the punk rock scene in New York in the 80s. A flying saucer thrown in for good measure.
Description of Liquid Sky
This 1983 science fiction oddity, set in the subterranean world of heroin addicts, performance artists, and androgynous models in New York's East Village, became a staple of the midnight movie circuit and college campus film societies. A tiny UFO lands oThis 1983 science fiction oddity, set in the subterranean world of heroin addicts, performance artists, and androgynous models in New York's East Village, became a staple of the midnight movie circuit and college campus film societies. A tiny UFO lands on the roof of a grungy penthouse apartment inhabited by androgynous model Anne Carlisle and her drug-dealing lover Paula E. Sheppard (the former child star of Alice, Sweet Alice). As explained with deadpan gravity by hilariously naive alien hunter Otto Von Wernherr, the UFOs congregate in areas of intense heroin concentration and feed off the highs of addicts. This alien has found a better high: orgasms. Russian ?migr? Slava Tsukerman's punk sci-fi feature takes the alien in alienation seriously, charting the mental disintegration of Carlisle as every sexual partner dies in climax and she turns herself into a heroine-chic angel of death. Easily the strangest to come out of the New York indie explosion of the early '80s, this low budget classic is talky and overlong at almost two hours, but remains an imaginative use of bargain-basement effects (heat aura photography, stop motion animation) for a tale of a most unusual alien encounter. Tsukerman co-composed the minimalist electronic score (in the Laurie Anderson vein). Carlisle, who cowrote the film, also appears as a surly gay male model. --Sean Axmaker
