In bianco e nero, tra sofisticate transizioni e controluce d’antan, Mitski attraversa solitaria la palude della vita. Rema in avanti, ma un altro amore se n’è andato per sempre. Star è diretto da Maegan Houang, già dietro la regia di vari video di Mitski fra cui Stay Soft e The Only Heartbreaker.
Così Houang sul video: «a differenza dei video più narrativi/concettuali che io e Mitski abbiamo realizzato insieme in passato, volevo che questo video incapsulasse la circolarità impressionistica che tutti noi sperimentiamo. Le nostre vite oscillano tra luce e buio e si ripetono in un ciclo infinito in cui nulla è permanente. I momenti migliori sono fugaci, ma lo sono anche quelli negativi».
