Burroughs<\/strong>. One of the strangest (and most prescient) films of that decade, it was directed by Klaus Maeck and Muscha (who also directed several punk films) and shot in Hamburg and Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lead roles were played by German actress Christiane Felscherinow (aka Christiane F) and&nbsp;<strong>FM Einheit<\/strong>&nbsp;(of Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten), who also contributed to the film&#8217;s score. Genesis P-Orridge, the kingpin of the English industrial scene, appears as a priest of the Black Noise faith, William S. Burroughs portrays an insurrectionist salesman of audio equipment (and contributes spoken word to the soundtrack) and cult US actor Bill Rice plays a detective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Decoder (1984) Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-Vu2ySzInU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcoldspring.bandcamp.com%2Falbum%2Fdecoder-csr356cd&amp;i=2&amp;d=kKIkGPd_SNKq4IqaYOErIw&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=QyTz8Gz4TruRdg5u4xixgQ&amp;s=8pRdXW_pzOI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-Vu2ySzInU8&amp;i=3&amp;d=kKIkGPd_SNKq4IqaYOErIw&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=QyTz8Gz4TruRdg5u4xixgQ&amp;s=iKQxNFxVz68\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">film trailer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the soundtrack,&nbsp;<strong>Soft Cell<\/strong>&nbsp;contributed their classic &#8216;Seedy Films\u2019, Matt Johnson aka&nbsp;<strong>The The<\/strong>&nbsp;wrote the frenetic \u2018Three Orange Kisses Ffom Kazan\u2019, while \u2018Compressed Metal\u2019 by Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten is sublime.
