The punk movement found its principal outlet through music at the end of the 70s and in the early 80s. In terms of movies, it was re-appropriated by exploitation cinema, where it was promptly emptied of its substance. Such was the case in "Class of 1984" by Mark L. Lester ("Commando"), a cross between vigilante flick and sci-fi wherein young, mohawked thugs in a near punk future wreak havoc! An 80s era cult film that was talked about in the media for its excessive violence.

"Liquid Sky" is more in tune with the nihilism and insanity of the Punk movement, with a completely crazy screenplay about heroin-hungry aliens who discover the orgasm. This psychedelic sci-fi film's unique visual esthetic, combined with anthemic 80s electro New Wave music, makes for a forgotten gem that deserves resuscitation.
