Liquid Sky Revisited (2017)

*** (out of 4)

This fifty-minute documentary has director Slava Tsukerman looking back at his 1982 film LIQUID SKY. We get interviews with Tsukerman as well as people like cinematographer Yuri Neyman, production assistant Jeff Most as well as Anne Carlisle, Nina Karova and Neke Carson among others. If you're a fan of LIQUID SKY then you'll enjoy this for the most part as everyone interviewed gives you a very good idea what it was like making the picture. There was a lot of rehearsals done for the film and we get footage of a lot of them and that was certainly a treat to see. This really doesn't play out like your typical documentary but then again LIQUID SKY wasn't your typical movie either. For the most part this was quite entertaining and it was interesting to see how the film came to be.

Nifty retrospective documentary
Woodyanders10 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This 52-minute retrospective documentary covers a lot of interesting ground on the making of the low-budget sci-fi cult classic "Liquid Sky." Director/co-writer Slava Tsukerman talks about how he was initially going to do another science fiction film called "Sweet 16" starring Klaus Kinski and Andy Warhol. Anne Carlisle admits she was basically living her life as if it was a piece of live performance art at the time she starred in "Liquid Sky." Production assistant Jeff Most discusses how he got paid three hundred bucks to dye his hair blonde so he could double Carlisle as Jimmy in scenes in which Jimmy and Margaret interact with each other. We also learn that extensive videotaped rehearsals were done before shooting, material used for the costumes was purchased at thrift stores, the disco was eventually turned into a Petco store, and the ultimate fate of several cast members (one was sadly killed in the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001). Recommended viewing for fans of the film.
