Liquid Sky (Spanish Release) Cielo líquido (1982)

One of my all-time favs.

This movie will get you high on its amazing soundtrack, spectacular costumes and fabolous visuals. Whether you like clubbing, b-films, psychedelia or none of these - Do not miss it. I am buying it for all my friends.

Saw this film when it came out ( so long ago )I have just watched it again for the first time in 32 years ( gulp ) and I still like it.It encapsulates perfectly a very short period in the early 80 s' and, while not being terribly accessible , is, to me , interesting and genuine.Judging by the virulent negative reviews, one wonders why these people felt compelled to watch to the end - unless they are masochists naturally.Having never sat through a movie I did not enjoy, I don't get this venom.,

Plays in English without on screen subs but man, what the hell? Imagine if you had a nightmare where you're locked in a room with 50 really dull and boring Flock of Seagulls wannabes who are all trying to project some kind of pathetic cool while robotically taking drugs and listening to the worst, and I mean the WORST 80s new wave music you've ever heard (and btw AFOS were excellent musically, so no taking away from them). This movie has cult status with many out there but the emporer is clearly naked in my eyes. Dreadful garbage of the highest order. Hilariously terrible

? :\å chance to see this movie at a cinema ages ago!! i was attracted by the picture on the postre, and it was a really unaspected revelation: original, ironic, intelligent. once i got the tape i used to wach it very often, and always showed to any one coming to saty in my house!!great, a must, low budget intelligent original fantasy movie, catching the mood of the eighties

There are 2 types of Cult film, the gangbang of ideas that throws everything at the wall, hoping something sticks. Then there's the excellent film that got the shaft when it came to distribution, left with a small audience to appreciate its qualities. Liquid Sky is the former.Early 80's New York, theatre of dreams, where people go to make it big, develop drug dependency. New wave was still underground and sounded like car horns in a traffic jam. Androgyny thought to be sexy. Off kilter, angular fashions all the rage. Slap some rectangles on your face and you were model material. The only way you could tell these people were living the high life is the fact they live in the penthouse. It looks a complete and utter hole.And there's aliens who've come across the cosmos for a smack fix.In Liquid Sky's world everyone is off their face, this explains their high tolerance to rubbish. It would explain those involved in the creation of this movie too.There's the occasional wacky situation such as the impromptu knife fight between Margaret and her roommate Adrian that comes out of absolutely nowhere. Main actress Anne Carlisle is given a dual role (female Margaret, male Jimmy) in spite of being incapable of one. Just because I didn't notice until the end credits, but that doesn't mean they're not equally awful. It's just the reason I'm not in the spy business.The editing keeps cross cutting between scenes. In one instance, we'll see Margaret trying to get laid, jump to Jimmy trying to score some coke, hopping back and forth between the two scenes with disorienting effect. Even when Adrian is performing a song in a club it doesn't stay on her for more than 20 seconds at a time. Mind you it's preferable to watching these scenes from beginning to end.Laughably bad SFX. There's an Eyeball and an Explosion effect that usually pop up when someone does drugs/has sex, but they appear at other unrelated points too so there's no consistency in their use. Seems they were used for the sake of using them.Liquid Sky: a good argument for why originality doesn't equal good and why there's no substitute for good storytelling. Still, they gave it everything and it's a fascinating train wreck I watched to its conclusion.

This is what I call a real clunker - my word for a previously unseen film that I bought on DVD because it sounded interesting. This is as low-budget as you can get and it doesn't work even if you try to imagine it as a narcotic-induced surreal fantasy. Doesn't challenge 'Begotten' for the title of worst film ever made, but it's a creditable attempt by all those who took part.

i saw this film at the cinema back in 82 and till this day it's the worst i've ever seen.
