This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Star-Crossed: The Film (stylized in all lowercase) is a 2021 American romantic fantasy film that served as the visual companion to Kacey Musgraves' fifth studio album of the same. The film was directed by Bardia Zeinali, from a script, he co-wrote with Musgraves; she further executive-produced and starred in the lead role, while featuring cameo appearances by actor Eugene Levy, RuPaul's Drag Race winner Symone, rapper Princess Nokia, actor Victoria Pedretti, and comedian Meg Stalter. It was shot by cinematographer Matthew Libatique for 10 days at Los Angeles, filmed adhering to the safety regulations due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Musgraves' divorce from singer-songwriter Ruston Kelly, and the aftermath had inspired her to write the album, and has further took inspirations from Greek tragedies and Romeo and Juliet, the famous play by William Shakespeare. The visual companion to the album was characterized as having "a sense of heightened reality" as the creators intended to feel it as cinematic and epic without compromising the emotions and telling her story through the lens of art and fashion.
Star-Crossed: The Film was premiered at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center on September 7, 2021 and one-night screening held across 25 theatres in United States, the following day. The film premiered at Paramount+, on September 10, the same date as the album released. Critics praised Musgraves' performance, and the surreal and self-realistic tone of the film, while complimenting the direction, costume design and cinematography. The film received a nomination for Best Longform Video at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards.
