  • WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­F !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop putting those stupid bitches of today in comprehensive analysis of this movie.

  • netflix, dissaponiting as usual, dont have this film....& i want to see it badly

  • @AhadVedux1984 You do realize that it is right here on You Tube?.

  • i love this movie! I saw it when i was a kid (13) and i use to think i would go to nightclubs and it would be like this - of course for me the 80's were long over and by the time i got to club age it was all raves - anyway, thanks for posting - brings back good memories

  • its been 2011 years, of course there's gonna be similarities in the media and real life.

    idiots.

  • I feel like people keep mentioning Lady Gaga's so-called "ripping off" of this film just to sound informative and sophisticated. WHO CARES! It's a film, do you or do you not like it? Just put whether you do or not. I have yet to see it and I skimmed through comments to pick up reviews but all I see are pompous asses constantly talking down on pop artists and their fans more than the film itself. Get over yourselves. I hate youtube sometimes...

  • Je n'oublierai jamais ce film incroyable et surtout sa musique, merci à celui ou celle qui l'a mis en ligne.

  • I can remember seeing this movie in NYC with my french girlfriend when it came out. Neither one of us could tell what the heck we were watching and we were too stoned to care.

  • this was seriously one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life and i have no idea why Soulslinger based Liquid Sky off this movie

  • @tableturns77 Then you are a fucking fool.

  • This is the scene that Madonna came from. In fact "The Club" is the Danceteria where she played some of her first shows. Anne Carlisle later showed up in Desperately Seeking Susan.

  • Lady Gaga(among others)may have expropriated some of the style of "Liquid Sky", but they're too young to remember the cultural revolt that spawned the fashion, music, etc. that this early 80's flick reflects.

  • @peacefuljeffrey There is nothing incoherent about "Liquid Sky." It's a pretty incisive indictment of a particular place and time... and it pretty much anticipates AIDS. But of course, a scruffy Hesher like you is naturally going to be hostile to anything that flies in the face of your pedestrian strip-mall sensibilities.

  • Gaga is Gilligan

    Art is silence

    Life is Death

    I am done

  • My mind was blown watching this movie. Everything in it (the fashion, music, subculture) is basically what so many people are trying to be like today. I feel like this movie was an unintended parody of how everybody would eventually try so overly hard to be part of a scene, to be avant-garde, to be flashy and even seem "extraterrestrial" (Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, folks?). Watching it today, it is fascinating, yet refreshing to be seeing this when it was all actually original.

  • @burnedparadise Poe's Law states: "without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between sincere extremism and the satirical parody of extremism." So this film could be a stealth parody of artsy films... and because of that became an artsy film. Bah, who knows?

  • @burnedparadise

    The film is actually about new wave scene and people like Lady Gaga are ripping it off.

    I wouldn't say this film foresaw the future, it's just that we're living in a time where it's fashionable to be retro

  • @Assimandelini Gaga isnt ripping off anyone dumb fuck.

  • @metronomic1

    There's dumb people who claim that lady gaga is ripping this film off and I said that she isn't (she probably haven't even seen this film), but she's ripping off new wave and glam rock scene, you dumb fuck.

  • @Assimandelini Kick rocks you little fucking fag.

  • @metronomic1

    Very mature comment. What the fuck is your problem, kid?

  • @Assimandelini

    They are all freaking retarded. When you look like a flower pot you look like an idiot.

  • @burnedparadise This was hardly new or original at the time. David Bowie had been around for a long time by 1983. As far as Lady Gaga goes, I would say she's the real deal, she isnt some manufactured pop act, she created the Lady Gaga persona and writes and plays all her music.

  • @burnedparadise I totally agree. Anyone who's old enough to remember Anne Carlisle in this film and Dale Bozzio (Missing Persons). Knows that there's really nothing original about Lady Gaga Ke$ha, Katy Perry etc...

    This was one of my favorite films from the '80's and although its original concept was to be about heroin addiction, within a couple years it was easy to think that it was about AIDS as well.

  • @BognarRegis

    So that bitch lady gabor is basically dressing as a heroin addict

  • @burnedparadise

    hahahahaha the scene, wtf are you on buddy, there is no scene, there is no wanting, it ain't about the music anymore anyway, it's big corporate bastards out to get the money out of your wallet, it's all a scheme, a huge ponzi scheme noone's talking about. They are draining you like cows and you can't even see it. The scene hahaha, that's a good one.

  • Anne Carlisle is the queen/king of the world!

  • New Wave, be brave.

  • "lol this is so wierd and different, amirite guys?"

  • I find it great that Gaga might have inspired her looks on this movie, it shows she probably has a large culture range.

  • wtf ?! xD

  • @unlikeanyotherhuman Classic 80's film , the music is a kind of piss take of stuff made with crappy tone generators all the rage at the time.

  • I believe this movie was actually made by aliens in search of an opiate released in the human brain when it is utterly confused by a low-budget movie.

  • This is one of the few films that represents my childhood dreams ...and I vividly remember randomly one afternoon as a kid, the trailer whizzing by between CHIPS reruns and being captivated/Terrified/fascinate­d~!

  • The joke is that it's the 80s

  • If your a Liquid Sky fanatic like me please check out my upcoming film 'Video Diary of a Lost Girl'! @ Indiegogo!

  • bizzare trailer don't get it, rocky horror picture show looks better than this

  • I love this movie..

  • Didn't matter whether it was good or bad, really. It was, quite simply, fabulous and very much of it's time. Of MY time. NYC -- LES and Alphabet City in particular -- in the early/mid 80's was a world unto itself. Was it fun? Hm, not sure. But I'm glad I was there, and saw Liquid Sky in Real Time.

  • @debkakes Like I said on this thread 4 years ago you had to be there. It was sci fi, and a brilliant satire of the Downtown New York New wave music/club/fashion scene happening at the time. And we called it lower east side and East Village not LES back then.

  • Liquid: Sky as Perfect: Blue 

  • veo este video al menos dos veces por semana etsoy enamorado de este pelicula!!

  • When I first saw this at the old Waverly Cinema in Greenwich Village, NYC, I dropped some mescaline and tripped through the whole flick. In retrospect the mesc wasn't neccessary!

  • I wanna watch this sooo bad!

    >_<

    why netflix?!?!?!?

    why don't you have this?

  • this trailer looks like a acid trip

  • whoever made this trailer was on acid

  • very bad movie... just fashion and and poor drama... or history...

  • NY in the 80's was a much different place...

  • one of my all time favs. such a bizarre and unique film. I'm sure lots of ppl hate it but experimental avante-garde films arnt for everyone

  • Loved this film since I first saw it back in'85. Now I can't find it anywhere! Can anyone help?

  • @wicki0723 the whole thing is on youtube and megavideo

  • Delicious delicious - I want to live here.

  • This film is seminal. A lot is based on it (including Blade Runner).

  • indelibly imprinted in my mind! 10 out of 10!

  • I love my Rhythm Box!!!!  This movie rocked!!!!

  • to moyni moy skotonei

  • amazing film

  • This film is Amazing!

  • Well, at least I understand where Thomas Dekker got the idea for his very artistic music video "Psyanotic" XD how interesting...

  • @bloodwolfgurl i was just thinking the same thing.

  • This film is genius!

  • 'Delicious delicious.'.. OMG.. that brings back memories.. hilarious

  • 0:34 Looks like the introduction for every Troma DVD. I half expected to see Toxie's head floating a building and explode.

  • Another Oscar snub. As good as Fellini's 8 1/2.

  • "Sore Losers" is a pretty good follow up to this.

  • great movie of russian emigrant,

    slava tsuckerman from st. petersburg!

    so, you know - who makes all fashion in the world :)) !

  • At a screening in Toronto back in the 90s.. I remember when Margret gets raped in the stairwell and the first 2 rows of the theatre started laughing (but also giggled anytime you would see the aliens "View". My friend turns to me saying, "Whatever they are on, I want some" - rofl

  • this is like watching a parody of my own self conciouss being

  • Heroin

  • go check out my tribute to anne carlisle. best actess ever.

  • This was a hoot to see at the midnight show at the St. Marks cinema in the east village of NYC in the 80s. The most fun ever.

  • Oh how boring.

    LOVE THIS.

  • I can' t believe I just ran across this. Made my day!

  • This looks quite horrible, but I must see it!

  • NYC clubhead's classic back in the day early 80s.

  • Isn't this the movie where aliens use people brains as a form of heroin?

  • Yes Not2Sane - At least, I think so.

    I saw this a few times at the Cinema's when it came out (I was late teens then D:) and was surprised that this trailer showed no drug references.

    But yeah I think the protagonist becomes possessed or body-snatched by aliens and starts sucking on human brains to get a high ... or something. Hehehe - I have some fond memories of it lol

  • Don't let that hot androgynous super 80's-out chick fool you. Connecticut is a scary ass place.

  • When is someone going to make 'Liquid Sky 2' ?

  • me!! i am working on it in a minute. Keep an eye!!

  • With a generation of young people who have "become" the undead robots this movie feared youth would become, I don't think there would be much of an audience for it today. This movie provoked self-contradictory emotions and to some minor degree, introspection. Today only the dumb people have feelings, and at that, they're usually the worst kind of emotions to have. We ARE the apocalypse represented in Liquid Sky.

  • @p717 are you part of this supposed "generation"? because if you aren't you dont understand our new ways of thinking and being

  • @gillogeri - your jumping to defense means that you are indeed a part of the "groupthink" that I'm alluding to. And, BTW, there's nothing "new" under the sun. There's just fads to make one group feel more special than another, and every group is pitted against one another in all directions of phony tribalism...agism, race, social class, fake political ideology, and the old standard of religion.

  • This trailer makes me want to commit suicide.

  • @Sevey13 plz dont.

  • You must be in a pretty bad shape :D

  • please dont tell me this was a great movie !

  • Saw this cult 80's sf at the Film museum in Queens,NY with the Russian crew.Apparently the main actress is today a respectuous housewife married with a dentist living in Connecticut ...she wasn't there;-)

  • "and on the weekends we will barbeque" -- guess she got her wish!

  • I was introduced to this film in a sci-fi class at my college. Were were working our way through decade by decade. This was one of the 80's films we watched. I remember thinking it to be ridiculous, but after deeper examination I've found very valuable content in this film (in the context of the time period). It's also trippy as fuck. Best. Class. Ever.

  • @JezebelMalice, would love to know what you see in it now.

    BTW, I took one of my filmmaking courses from Slava Tsukerman back in the day...

  • fucking amazing movie.

  • I don't know how I managed to see this movie during my early tween years, but it allowed me to appreciate it's visual style and gorgeous dreamlike cinematography with unjaded eyes. At the time Liquid Sky came out, it's soundtrack was a major component of it's "cool" factor (believe it or not) and originality. Though some of it can sound cheesy by today's standards, there are some tracks in Liquid Sky that still pack a sonic punch.

  • Back when we were just dating, I took my wife to see the now cult classic- "Eraser Head" and then she got even with me by taking me to see the now cult classic- "Liquid Sky".

    Both movies are totally strange to say the least.

  • I love that movie. And if you don't she'll krill you with her krunt!

  • I own the film (on video) and the soundtrack. It is amazing.

  • Liquid Sky? You are kidding right?

  • This music is made by Slava Tsukerman, right?

  • Wow! I remember watching this movie almost 30 years ago..

  • Aladdin Sane

  • Comment removed

  • LOVE THIS MOVIE!

  • ...so THIS is where Lady Gaga got her look

  • @Jokaanan I thought the same thing. LOL.

    "Do you want to know where I'm from? I'm from Conneticut."

    Sorry, but I saw the spaceship...so not buying it.

    This kinda has a Blade Runner feel to it but I doubt its that good as that film.

  • @8mycrab Actually, the spaceship is about the size of a dinner plate and contains a tiny alien who is spying on this woman,

    From Conneticut.

  • @Jokaanan Partly, yes. Another film she had ideas from was a punk movie, "Breaking Glass".

  • @michaelisajerk Cool!

  • @Jokaanan what an ignorant comment. lady gaga has nothing to do with this great film. this is a piece of art called 'film' not 'kindergarden'. im sick of ignorant people like you who compare great stuff with trash pop singers

  • @CoirNoirify WTF? What on earth are you all hussy about? Lady Gaga came over 20 years after this film. My comment only suggested that Lady Gaga could have been inspired by (or, if you prefer, "decided to rip off") Liquid Sky. It's just an observation based on what I see in this trailer, not my beliefs about film or pop music. Check out @1:35

  • @CoirNoirify You need to calm down, quit being insulting, and learn the difference between facts and opinions. Jokaanan was NOT being rude with his/her comment. She was just making a comparison which is actually fairly accurate regardless of your opinion about this movie or Lady Gaga.

  • @QueenAnime99 Gaga is not art and that's a fact. you people just don't know

  • @CoirNoirify 1. Art is subjective. 2. Opinions are not facts. Good day.

  • 90s game into music, from before the 90s

  • WEIRD

  • ugh! I hate it when the man at the end says the title of the movie. It's like really bad porn.

  • Really? I love the way he says it. Sounds so IMPORTANT.

  • Really interesting film, the trailer captures the mood well but says nothing about the plot.

  • uhhh....

  • un mito!

    l'ho visto in una sala parrocchiale di una città di provincia all'inizio degli anni '80 e non l'ho mai dimenticato

  • Best Movie Ever!!! Thank you for posting this!!

  • this movie is crazy...id love to watch it stoned

  • That would make it go down easier. It's quirky and fun but I can't bring myself to sit through it again sober.

  • lol - not that it was bad, i just dont think i could sit through it again either.

  • The public library here used to have a copy of this movie, but some asshole stole it. I wish I knew who it was so I could beat the shit out of them.

  • @roothands Stuff like that has happened to me. Forgive the guy. You're bigger than he is.

  • @roothands Maybe send the aliens after them???

  • @roothands maybe he died from fucking it???

  • This is a special movie--I loved it back then.

  • I saw this when it first came out and I was 19. I didn't get the movie at the time but loved the music.

  • yes, i love that "electroclash" sounds too! but the movie was...kinda too extreme for me.

  • God, I remember this movie! I was 20 when I went to see it! Haven't seen it out since...peace

  • me and my.....

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? ...A Porno?

  • 1:25 - looks like Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean)! Lol.

  • More like Deepak Chopra.

  • GENIAL MOVIE.

  • i have to see this. i was to busy back then.

  • this was awesome, although I don't like some of the clips used for this trailer, doesn't do the movie justice.

  • I was this at the Orson Welles Cinema in Cambridge, Ma when it came out and instantly had to find the music of Marin Marais.

  • stupefacente

  • I saw this film so many times when it came out. I kept going back and taking different people. It was showing at The Waverley in NYC.

  • Both you and I spent a considerable amount of time in that Greenwich Village Theater. Of all the films that I saw during that period of my youth, Liquid Sky was my favorite.  I convinced a lot of girlfriends to attend that 80s opus. If you know where I can buy the DVD of the film, please tell me.

  • @priapusrex I've just seen it for sale on both amazon (.co.uk) and play.com, only available on region 1 (US) or I'd have bought it myself. Price reasonable.

  • I watched this a couple days ago it was great!

  • Hey, Indian! Do it ...

  • got 2 see this some1 reply so i can remember to

  • MY CUNT IS A KILLER

  • I remember this movie good, ok not a blockbuster, but one of those very rare low budget time documents, in this case of early 8ts "New Wave"...or better "No Wave" New York style. The music in this movie is so unbelievable futuristic and outstanding....fantastic! Does anybody know if this is on DVD?

  • Stodles with geez all over his face @ 1:33 !

  • What the hell are you ranting on about?

  • Marla Hansen and David Berlowitz...New York City is a great fuckin' town !

  • hell yeah!

    you sound like someone from that movie!

    ;D

  • Why do people always have to blame the Jews? Doesn't that ever get old?

  • true.why do most racist people tell blacks to go back to Africa?

  • That term is a very dirogatory term. Perhaps you didn't know it's very offensive.

  • @Sleepingsparklegirl, it's a quote from the movie.

  • Indian ! Come back...

  • this movie sucks so much its good...

  • I agree with you, but I wouldn't use the word suck.

  • what song is that?

  • 90's forecast!

  • lol this film is so epic:L its epic cuz at the time the special effects were amazing and now the amazing because there so dated! win! i have to wonder will people think the films we make now will still be epic in 30 years

  • Rad film!! Love it!! Neon forever!!

  • I'm watching it on DVD right now!

  • the first club they shot in was called the"cavern" a downtown dance club in nyc.

    it had a brief life. don't know the 2nd "neony" club.? dancateria? dug it!

  • some of it was filmed in my old building. the building was cool filled with artists, actors, musicans till they started to kick everyone out to make it it to a hip hotel/club/coffee house. bastereds

  • what a strange and bizarre movie, i like it, it's a psychedelic experience... almost forgotten today, unfortunately it hasn't become a cult.

  • It had a cult in the 80's...even Playboy featured it...

  • I remember Liquid Sky being the drug in Snatcher.

  • Holy crap! I looked this movie up on youtube solely because I remembered it from snatcher.

  • I love this movie. There's a cameo of a fucked up (what's new) courtney love

  • What part of the film?
