What Is Punk? In How To Talk To Girls At Parties Short Teasers

Nicole Kidman has been many things during her cinematic career, but in her upcoming movie How To Talk To Girls At Parties, would you call her a punk rocker?Punk was a revolution a counterculture giving birth to a way a life, fashion styles and most of all legendary bands with a recognisable stripped down sound. In a movie based on the short story by Neil Gaiman, directed by John Cameron Mitchell (Rabbit Hole, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), comes a story of the birth of punk, the exuberance of first love, and the universe’s greatest mystery of all.

Today the movie made it’s Cannes Film Festival Studiocanal has sent us two very short teasers that tease the themes of the movie…Physical, emotional and transformation.They are a uniquely surreal, whimsy, a sexual revolution awaits our young protagonists, but what is Punk and is Nicole Kidman an alien??!

It’s London (well Croydon to be exact….), 1977 and our teenage hero Henry – known as Enn (Tony Award winner Alex Sharp) – and his two friends John and Vic are in search of a night to remember, uninterested in the Silver Jubilee celebrations that are going on behind the privet hedges and lace-curtained windows of quiet suburbia. Desperate to be taken seriously by local punk matriarch Boadicea and her coterie of followers they hear of a party not far away and decide to gatecrash. On arrival, nothing is quite as they expected: the house seems to be full of teenage students: exotic, foreign, unbelievably gorgeous. Know-it-all ladies man Vic identifies them as American – what else could they be? Soon Enn is in way over his head (and heart) with the beautiful, enigmatic Zan (Elle Fanning), an outsider just like him. As Enn becomes her ambassador to a brave new world of punk, partying and music, he learns that Zen has a new world of her own to share (quite literally) and over the course of twenty-four hours the two will go on an adventure that is truly out of this world.

How To Talk To Girls At Parties doesn’t have a UK release date just yet.
