Elle Fanning Gets Punk In First Teasers For 'How To Talk To Girls At Parties'

Elle Fanning may only be 19 years old, but she’s becoming something of an expert on punk rock and the 1970s. The actress starred in Mike Mills‘ “20th Century Women,” which played against the backdrop of that milieu, and this weekend she’ll be in Cannes for “How To Talk To Girls At Parties,” where she’ll learn all about becoming punk.

Directed by John Cameron Mitchell, based on the short story by Neil Gaiman, and co-starring Nicole Kidman, Ruth Wilson, and Alex Sharp, the film is a “punk alien love story.” Here’s the synopsis from Cannes:

A story about the birth of punk, the exuberance of first love, and the universe’s greatest mystery of all: how to talk to girls at parties.

Nico Muhly, Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu, Matmos and AC Newman of The New Pornographers contributed songs for the film, while Martin Tomlinson and Bryan Weller also wrote the tunes for the in-film band The Dyschords.

Stayed tuned for our thoughts on the Croisette. A24 will release in the film in the U.S.
