LIQUID SKY : THE MOVIE
We don't use to upload films on this blog , but this one is something special , and you can't find it with the Greek subtitles .
Language : English.
Subtitles : Greek.
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.
Liquid Sky is an independent American film produced in 1983 with a budget of $500,000.
It won a cult following shortly after its release.
In New York, Boston and Washington D.C. the film played non-stop for more than three years and grossed more than a million dollars in each city. Liquid Sky was the recipient of five international film festival awards.
Liquid Sky was produced and directed by
Slava Tsukerman who, prior to making Liquid Sky, had a successful career as a documentary and TV film maker in the USSR and Israel.
The screenplay was written by Slava Tsukerman, his wife and ubiquitous co-producer Nina V. Kerova, and Anne Carlisle, who also enacted the film's two leading roles.
The director of photography, Yuri Neyman, a Russian emigre, was the DP and special effects expert.
Anne Carlisle also wrote a novel based on the movie (same title) in 1987.
The music for the film was composed by Slava Tsukerman, Clive Smith and Brenda Hutchinson using the Fairlight CMI, the first digital sampler/synthesizer. Much of it was original, while some songs were interpretations of music by Carl Orff, Baroque composer Marin Marais and some other composers.
THE STORY
A
NEW WAVE fashion show is to be held in a crowded Manhattan nightclub. Among the models are bisexual,
cocaine-addicted Margaret (Anne Carlisle) and Jimmy (also played by Carlisle). Jimmy is Margaret's rival and nemesis and also loves cocaine, constantly hassling Margaret's drug-dealer girlfriend Adrian (Paula E. Sheppard) for drugs despite not having any money to pay for them.
A
UFO about the size of a dinner plate lands on the rooftop of the penthouse apartment inhabited by androgynous model Anne Carlisle and her drug-dealing lover Paula E.
Jimmy accompanies Margaret home before the show, but he's actually trying to find Adrian's drugs. Margaret meanwhile is being watched by a tiny, shapeless alien from inside the UFO. Margaret and Jimmy return to the club to participate in the show. During preparations both agree to a photographic shoot the following night on Margaret's rooftop. They are assured that there will be plenty of heroine available at the shoot.
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 emigre 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.
