A group of aliens addicted to human-brain endorphins, produced through the use of heroin or orgasm, land on the roof of a New-York loft home to punk artists. A time capsule of bygone times, Liquid Sky comes to LUFF in a superbly restored copy honouring the work of its creators. Celebrated to chords of heady synthpop under the halos of multicolored neons, this funereal wedding between punk nihilism and the fashion world finally retrieves the glorious glow of the 80s. Warning: some brains may melt.
