Elvis
Dazzling biopic by Baz Luhrmann (THE GREAT GATSBY) about the life of Elvis, seen from the perspective of his manager, Colonel Tom Parker.
What happens when you give the filmmaker of THE GREAT GATSBY and MOULIN ROUGE! the life story of the king of rock-'n-roll? There's no way it doesn't result in a bombastic film full of glitter, glamour and style. ELVIS focuses on the complex dynamics between Elvis Presley and his manager, the mysterious Colonel Tom Parker, from Presley's breakthrough to his status as an unrivalled superstar. Luhrmann places all this against the background of the changing cultural landscape and the so-called loss of innocence in America.
Baz Luhrmann, USA, 2022, 159 min. English spoken, Dutch subtitles.
With Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, Olivia DeJonge, Helen Thomson, Richard Roxburgh.
