Decoder
Why this pick
Berlin’s industrial underground, radical sound experiments and anti-authoritarian delirium echo Liquid Sky’s abrasive downtown energy and deliberately synthetic alienation.

The Doom Generation
Why this pick
Its fluorescent, confrontational queer youth culture and stylized emotional disconnection carry a similarly caustic, knowingly artificial late-night charge.
03
Jubilee
Why this pick
A punk-apocalypse collage of fashion, provocation and anarchic performance, with the same pleasure in abrasive personalities and subcultural spectacle.
04
Nowhere
Why this pick
Alien intrusion meets druggy Los Angeles nightlife in a hyper-coloured, deadpan teen nightmare that shares Liquid Sky’s campy estrangement.
05
Trouble in Mind
Why this pick
This nocturnal neo-noir builds an off-kilter urban dreamscape from stylized performances, oddball menace and cool, melancholy artifice.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A New Wave fashion show is to be held in a crowded Manhattan nightclub. Among the models are bisexual, cocaine-addicted Margaret and Jimmy. Jimmy is Margaret's rival and nemesis and also loves cocaine, constantly hassling Margaret's drug-dealer girlfriend Adrian for drugs despite not having any money to pay for them.
