ince its unmemorable release in 1982, the Warhol-esque Liquid Sky has developed a rather significant cult following. Anne Carlisle (Desperately Seeking Susan) plays dual roles in the film: Jimmy, a male model with a raging drugging addiction and Margaret, a bisexual girl who could easily pass for Aimee Mann during her 'Til Tuesday days. Otto von Wernherr (Madonna enemy and early collaborator) plays a German scientist chasing after an alien spacecraft that visits the Earth in order to feed off the opium-producing receptors inside the brains of heroin users. During sexual orgasm, these receptors produce a sensation similar to the feeling produced by the brain during the absorption of heroin. The film's aliens (visually represented using negative film stock of a blood-shot eye) feed off of this pleasure principle, spontaneously combusting humans as they engage in sexual intercourse. Aliens, drugs, clubs, orgasms and big hair! The film and its synth-laden soundtrack are celebrations of '80s counter-culture. Some 20 years after its release, the bad behavior and paranoia depicted here seemingly foreshadows the ramifications of said culture's sexual indiscretions and the country's own political naivete.
