Starring Anne Carlisle, Paula E. Sheppard, Susan Doukas
One of the coolest and most outrageously stylish oddities to emanate from the 1980s indie underground is a postpunk science-fiction fantasia set in New York’s zonked-out bohemian demimonde. It’s there that Margaret (Anne Carlisle), a disaffected bisexual model and performance artist living in a neon-lit New Wave penthouse, pursues the highs of heroin and sex with hedonistic abandon. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of tiny, shapeless aliens have landed their saucer on her rooftop to feast off the dopamine-charged neurochemical fruits of her fellow scensters’ narcotic and sexual ecstasy.
