  My ex-college roommate and I went to see Liquid Sky the other night.
  Our credentials as movie critics are non-existant, but we have seen
  an awful lot of incredibly bad science fiction flicks in our time, 
  and it was our conclusion that Liquid Sky was about the awfullest
  of the lot.

  A truly wretched film, but not without a few redeeming features.

  Yes, the photography and glimpses of New York at night are very
  attractive.  The occasional cuts to skyline and planes flying over 
  the city are also totally irrelevant to the mood and plot of the movie.

  There is humor in the movie.  Some, maybe even most of it, is intentional.



  This is probably a movie to see if you are interested in punk, 
  avante-garde films, or are just a fan of drugged out obnoxious 
  characters.


  Oh, yeah, at one point in the movie, a character says something like
  "It's just like the ThreePenny Opera" for those of us in the audience
  who might have missed the point (that punk is just another form of 
  convention).  Such subtlety in a work of art boggles the mind.
