Liquid Sky
Slava Tsukerman / US, 1982 / 112 min.
Invisible aliens land in Manhattan and invade the gender fluid new wave club scene. Cult classic from 1982 is a liberal portrait of the heroin-drenched post punk era in New York, disguised as a science fiction comedy.
Margaret, an in-demand androgynous model, boredly engages in downtown New York’s club scene where everything goes: man/woman/hetero/bi/gay/lesbian or otherwise, all set to the freeze-dried sound of New Wave.
She (Anne Carlisle) is embroiled in merciless competition with her fashionista rival, the cocaine addicted male model Jimmy (Anne Carlisle). A UFO carrying invisible aliens lands on her penthouse, attracted by the heroin and sex in the club scene, they explosively vaporise their victims in explosions of psychedelic extasy and protect Margaret from unwelcome advances.
