Ein Liebesfilm. Da manche Mädchen einfach nicht von dieser Welt sind, informierte ich mich vorsichtshalber nochmal, wie diese auf Parties korrekt anzusprechen sind. Für Außerirdischen gelten zwar im Prinzip anderere Regeln, welche hier aber keine Verwendung finden, weil die kleinen Punks in Croydon annehmen, so sonderbar wie sie sich benehmen, sind es wohl Amerikaner. Muss als einer der besseren Filme mit Nicole Kidman gewertet werden.
So, I was watching a movie that I didn't got around in my first watch,
How to talk to girls at parties
But this time I realised. This is just the punk version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
It is. A group of friends get lost in a strange place that's not so strange due to the location itself but because of the people, they're weird, they are queer.

I've just finished watching How to talk to girls at parties and this movie is so SO weird. I think I liked it, because it was so random and probably the weirdest thing I've ever watched but I'm not even sure?? That's how weird it was.
It's set in 1977 in England and tells the story of Enn, a young punk, who meets Zan. And she's either an alien or part of a cult. I still don't know. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of how weird it is.
It features Nicole Kidman, Matt Lucas, Ruth Wilson and Elle Fanning. It was selected for the Cannes festival. I have no idea what they all drank that year but yeah, this happened.
“Would you like to hear it?” she asked, and I nodded, unsure what she was offering me, but certain that I needed anything she was willing to give me.
