    behold the wonder that is

    Liquid Sky

    directed by a russian exile, if memory serves (it probably doesn't)

    "Invisible aliens in a tiny flying saucer come to Earth looking for heroin.
    They land on top of a New York apartment inhabited by a drug dealer and her female, androgynous, bisexual nymphomaniac lover, a fashion model.
    The aliens soon find the human pheromones created in the brain during orgasm preferable to heroin, and the model's casual sex partners begin
    to disappear. This increasingly bizarre scenario is observed by a
    lonely woman in the building across the street, a German scientist who
    is following the aliens, and an equally androgynous, drug-addicted male
    model."

    buy it on DVD now!! [ame="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6305660328/imdb-adbox/104-0004510-6875119"]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6305660328/imdb-adbox/104-0004510-6875119[/ame]

    Hmmm... I'd also put Nicholas Roeg's `Eureka` into this catagory. I mean what the hell was that film about?!?

    In these stakes I think these two have to be right up there:

    'Blue' by Derek Jarman:
    One hour and seventeen minutes of luminous blue glow, unchanging, calming, irritating, numbing. It does have a soundtrack though - snippets of sound, music and Jarman's thoughts on his blindness and approaching death.

    'Empire' by Andy Warhol:
    It begins with a totally white screen and as the sun sets, the image of the Empire State Building emerges. The floodlights on its exterior come on, the building's lights flicker on and off for the next SIX AND A HALF hours, then the floodlights go off again so that the remainder of the film takes place in nearly total darkness.

    'Santa Sangre' - definately
    it's about a man teaming up with his armless mother to kill people in mexico (or is it spain?) - too weird for words - includes elephant burials, disabled children snorting coke and various circus weirdos
    weird, arty and just, not right.
