[net.sf-lovers] review of Liquid Sky

don@allegra.UUCP (09/21/83)

"Liquid Sky" is about an alien who comes to the Earth to feed on heroin
and discovers that human endorphines are much better.  Thus, it starts
killing people while they are having sex.  It parks its craft on the
roof of a burnt-out New Wave fashion model, and all of a sudden her
lovers start vanishing in a flash when they have orgasm.  After this
happens a few times, she starts taking advantage of it by seducing men
who have hurt her.

Most of the action and mood of the movie is centered on a group of very
burnt out, ultra trendy New York fashion models.  These people have
purple hair and take lots of drugs and wear amazing clothes, but on the
whole, the movie was very bad.  The acting is reminiscent of cheap
X-rated movies.  I would only recommend the movie to those who would
like to have a REALLY UNUSUAL visual experience.  Also, the woman who
plays Adrienne, the lesbian lover of the fatel fashion model, is a
strong and interesting character.
