So is this film dead or what?
No sign of a release date anywhere I can find.

I missed it at the SFIFF. But saw it yesterday at the Four Star Cinema on Clement Street after a brief run at both the Lumiere and Opera Plaza Theatres (both Landmark-owned). I do not know its national release information so I cannot comment upon that.
While it was quirky and convoluted at times, it was a joy to behold. How often does a movie include SRA's dependence upon spermatazoa, the ambiguity of the sexual identity of Karen Black and a virgin who was formerly involved with him/her?
Once again, Tilda Swinton proves she is the Johnny Depp of the female sex. With each new performance, she amazes. Each of the charachters she plays has a distinct identity and she handles the juggling with ease.
Then there is the humour - a scientific investigator whose facial bandaids keep changing position, a copy clerk who cannot seem to position the originals on the glass for exact copies yet thinks the results are art, a research scientist who goes to a salon for a complete makeover and yet leaves looking exactly the same.
In the audience was an elderly couple who could barely move from the entrance to the seats they chose yet they got all of the jokes in the movie and appreciated them. That says alot but then again this is San Francisco and thats where the film was made.
If you liked "Liquid Sky", you will definitely enjoy this film. Look for it on DVD!! :-)
It was on Starz Sunday Sept 26 around 2 AM. I never heard of it but it seemed cool.
