Plot:
Llik Your Idols deals with The Cinema of Transgression, a movement that occurred in New York from 1984 to 1991 - or did it ? This is the whole point. It was closely linked to the local punk rock scene, namely the No Wave scene (Lydia Lunch, DNA, Sonic Youth...) and involved artists such as Richard Kern (photographer published by Taschen), Nick Zedd (heir of Ed Wood and John Waters. Their films were Super 8 satirical tracts against Reaganist values that became cult as Sonic Youth became too.
