Liquid Sky (1983)




In her book The Scandal of Pleasure: Art in an Age of Fundamentalism Wendy Steiner opines that Liquid Sky is a concise presentation of postmodern concerns. She writes: Here we have all the ingredients of the postmodern romance: parody; voyeurism; fetishism; a pastiche of modes, stylistic levels and esthetic allusions; simultaneous humor and insensitivity about serious issues like the Holocaust, rape, and feminism; the collapse of binary oppositions, as with identical male and female models; the equation of art with assault; the inclusion of the audience in the action and therefore in the ethical responsibility for what is represented; and the outrageous cost of ecstasy.
