Liquid Sky is a 1982 American independent science fiction film directed by Slava Tsukerman and starring Anne Carlisle and Paula E.

[3] The film is seen as heavily influencing a club scene that emerged in the early 2000s in Brooklyn, Berlin, Paris, and London called electroclash.

German scientist Johann Hoffman has been secretly observing the aliens from the Empire State Building.

In a bout of psychopathic narcissism and necrophelia, Adrian mounts Owen's face and climaxes while Margaret watches, pleading for her to stop.

Adrian arrives home and they prepare a rotisserie chicken and potatoes in aluminum pans on their bed.

During the shoot, Margaret is taunted by Jimmy and the crew, so she forces him to have oral sex with her, knowing it will kill him, which it does, baffling everyone (some of whom leave).

Margaret unplugs all the lights, and applies glow make up while she rants about her identity, upbringing, society, and the culture of 1980s Manhattan.

Johann reveals that the alien in the UFO is extracting endorphins produced by the brain when an orgasm occurs.

Sylvia and Katherine arrive at the apartment together and reach the penthouse in time to see Margaret getting abducted by the aliens.

Liquid Sky was an adaption and formation from a previous script titled "Sweet Sixteen" from director Slava Tsukerman.

[6] He and his wife started collaborating; because of language barriers and American speech, they hired friend & co-writer Anne Carlisle to help them write the script.

The screenplay was written by Tsukerman, his wife and ubiquitous co-producer Nina V. Kerova, and Anne Carlisle, who also enacted the film's two leading roles.

The director of photography, Yuri Neyman, a Russian émigré, was also the film's special effects expert.

The music was composed by Slava Tsukerman, Clive Smith and Brenda Hutchinson using the Fairlight CMI.

Most of it was original, but included interpretations of Baroque composer Marin Marais's Sonnerie de Ste-Geneviève du Mont-de-Paris, Carl Orff's Trionfo di Afrodite, and Anthony Philip Heinrich's Laurel Waltz.

Director Slava Tsukerman, cinematographer Yuri Neyman, and Production Designer Marina Levikova worked closely together to create the distinct, unique cinematic look and vivid feel of Liquid Sky.

The film was shot to make you feel the emotions of the characters, expressed through powerful light, colors, contrast, composition, and movement.

In a 1984 February issue of American Cinematographer, reviewers of Liquid Sky cinematography were quoted as saying it is "the picture's asset" and "On its simplest level, it could be just as satisfying to be watched with its sound off, as a spectacular work of moving art."

When composing, Tsukerman would tap a rhythm or hum a melody, and Hutchinson and Smith would play around with ideas on the Fairlight.

[20] In a 2014 interview with The Awl, Slava Tsukerman confirmed that he intended to make a sequel, Liquid Sky 2;[21] with Anne Carlisle returning in the role of Margaret.
