A movie is as much amusing as New York City itself: mix of beautiful-looking characters using drugs, making love and enjoying life by ways considerable as aliens present just try having their part in actions mystically. It is better ones to watch than try grasping a sense and context of this work by reading the commenting.

'LIQUID SKY' is one of the most irritating, weird and oddly watchable movies ever made. Centered around the underground world of Margaret played by Anne Carlisle, a heroin-soaked fashion model but fashions more suited to Barnum @ Bailey than Park Avenue. Heroin hungry aliens in a pie-plate sized saucer land on Margarets rooftop because the aliens have discovered a heroin-like substance is secreted in the brain at the point of orgasm and Margaret unknowingly dispatches a few donors to the aliens thirst. Each victim is left with a crystal obelisk imbedded deep into their skull-the meaning of the obelisk? Who knows? But in this movie-you just accept it. Margaret shares her apartment with a vile, foul-mouthed gnome played by Paula Sheppard who is a heroin-pusher and a bizzaro performance artist who performs a rant about the joys of her "rhythm box". An Alien chasing German scientist arrives by plane in NYC to stake out the activities on Margarets rooftop. How he tracked the aliens in Ny from Germany is never explained. He finds a willing assistant in a Jewish matron who lives across from Margarets apartment building. In one of the most amusing scenes the woman phones in a take-out order from a Chinese restaurant and she orders every item from column A and column B as long as the items contain shrimp. Margaret soon catches on to the demise of her sex partners and begins to seek revenge on her tormentors including a rapist and a gay fashion model named Jimmy also acted by Anne Carlisle and during a fashion shoot in her apartment she performs a "service" for Jimmy and of course Jimmy ends up with the crystal obelisk in his head. She wanders onto her rooftop more heroin soaked than usual and is sucked into the aliens saucer which then takes off in search of a new supply of heroin. The film is so heroin obsessed that it pictures the Empire State Building with its reed-thin radio antenna, looking like a humongous hypodermic needle. This film is definetly not for everyone but if you have a taste for the unusual and yes, very strange and have a lot of patience, you may find the movie worth watching..........but it is bizarre!
