Speed Cinema Screening: Liquid Sky 10/27/18 4 pm

Directed by Slava Tsukerman

Androgynous New Wave model, Margaret, dreams of stardom and shares a downtown New York apartment with her girlfriend, an experimental musician and heroin dealer, Adrian. Unbeknownst to the couple, tiny aliens have come to Earth seeking heroin and are making a home on their roof. Realizing human dopamine is more satisfying than heroin, the aliens begin killing everyone Margaret has sex with in order to feed off their pleasure-providing neurons. Starring Anne Carlisle in a dual role as Margaret and Jimmy, Margaret’s drug-addicted model rival. Tsukerman’s Liquid Sky is an avant-garde, queer masterpiece and a telling depiction of 80’s New York. 1982, U.S., 4K DCP, 112 minutes. Rated R.
