LIQUID SKY (1982) — Friday Night WTF!
November 8 : 9:30 pm – 11:30 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“One of the coolest (and weirdest) flicks I’ve ever seen!” -Cinedump
One of the coolest and most outrageously stylish oddities to emanate from the 1980s indie underground is a postpunk science-fiction fantasia set in New York’s zonked-out bohemian demimonde. It’s there that Margaret (Anne Carlisle), a disaffected bisexual model and performance artist living in a neon-lit New Wave penthouse, pursues the highs of heroin and sex with hedonistic abandon. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of tiny, shapeless aliens have landed their saucer on her rooftop to feast off the dopamine-charged neurochemical fruits of her fellow scensters’ narcotic and sexual ecstasy.
Screening as part of Arkadin’s November-long series, MUSICAL COMEDIES BUT NOT “MUSICAL COMEDIES” — you know, comedies with lots of music but not really musicals. You get us?
