How to Talk to Girls at Parties exclusive clip stars Elle Fanning's extraterrestrial teenager

Nicole Kidman also stars in the ultimate showdown between punks and aliens

Being a teenager is tough work - especially if you're from another planet.

Such is the quandary of Elle Fanning's Zan: an intergalactic visitor to our planet who arrives at the height of the punk era, landing in London in 1977. She becomes entranced by Enn (Alex Sharp), a shy suburban teenager who, in turn, is mesmerised by someone so beautiful and so rebellious.

Soon, Zan becomes torn between her allegiance to her colony and her fascination in Enn; as the two embark on an adventure that plunges them into the very heart of punk itself.

How to Talk to Girls at Parties is the latest from Hedwig and the Angry Inch director John Cameron Mitchell, adapting the short story of the same name by Neil Gaiman. It also stars Nicole Kidman as fellow alien Queen Boadicea, alongside Ruth Wilson and Matt Lucas.

The film hits UK cinemas 11 May.
