I watched it with a friend one night and FUCK! What a goddamn amazing\u00a0 movie. How did anyone pull this off and get it made?????<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s shot in Manhattan in the early 80&#8217;s starring Anne Carlisle in a dual role. I won&#8217;t waste much time attempting to explain the plot but it involves models, drug addicts, rapists, aliens, a German guy, and much more. The aesthetic\/ makeup\/ music\/ and sets are all truly incredible and a visual feast. I urge anyone to find and watch this film. After I watched it I became quite obsessed. Like HOW did anyone get a small amount of money, come up with this idea and script, and finally film and release it! It seemed like something that shouldn&#8217;t exist which is what interested me. It was too fucking cool to have actually been made basically.<\/p>\n<p>Limited information existed on the internet but I found out a bit about the director and some actors. I was still left with more questions concerning the conception and execution of this film. I mean where was it filmed precisely? How many people did the costumes and makeup!? Who wrote &#8220;Me and My Rhythm Box&#8221;??? The list went on&#8230;. it was just too cool. I bought the novelization, written by Anne Carlisle as well. It&#8217;s a good read and gives you more background about the main characters including the &#8220;rich cunt from Connecticut&#8221;. I also find an interview with the director Slava Tsukerman in an old issue of Heavy Metal, I posted scans <a href=\"http:\/\/nevergofastenough.com\/?p=229\">HERE<\/a>. I&#8217;m still looking for more background and interviews with ANYONE involved in the production.<\/p>\n<p>Still the film intrigues me so, I urge you to find it and watch it.<\/p>\n<p>Last year I ventured to Seattle, as a quick Nirvana and First Blood pilgrimage. The first record store I went to I found absolutely nothing but then just sitting in some sort of &#8220;special new arrivals&#8221; section I found the fucking soundtrack! I could have ordered this at some point but when you run across things you are not even thinking about it is a real rush. I was a bit boggled but then remembered more people have seen this movie than I thought. It was just long before my time.<\/p>\n<p>I recently was able to see the film in theaters are it was quite the treat. I wish I could live in a Liquid Sky like world, for better or worse.<\/p>\n<p>Me and my rhythm box out~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where to begin about Liquid Sky&#8230;&#8230; Years ago I found some list of lesser known cult\/underground horror\/whatever films and Liquid Sky was somewhere on the list.
