"Lick the Star" is a 14 minute long black & white 16mm film. It was the first film written and directed by Sofia Coppola, daughter of Francis Ford Coppola.

Plot

The plot revolves around a clique of four girls who devise a plan to weaken the boys at their school with arsenic. The plan is to slowly poison the boys through their lunches, inspired by the "queen bee" Chloe’s obsession with the novel "Flowers in the Attic". As the plan progresses, a minor conversation discussing how important slavery was starts a gossip ring that leads to Chloe's eventual downfall. The young actresses in Coppola's film have no other screen credits to their names. Peter Bogdanovich appears in a cameo as the Principal. The director of photography was Lance Acord, and the soundtrack features The Amps, Kim Gordon and the Go-Gos. Coppola's own eye appears in one dream-like shot.

The film's themes also appear in Coppola's later work, such as the feelings of isolation; in addition, the film begins with a car journey, just like her later films "The Virgin Suicides" and "Lost In Translation".

The film is included as a bonus feature on the DVD for the movie "HOP", from the filmmovement collection
