Priscilla
Biopic by Sofia Coppola (Lost In Translation) about the life of Priscilla Presley, wife of the ‘king of rock and roll’. Cailee Spaeny won the award for best actress at the Venice Film Festival.
When fourteen-year-oldPriscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who – at the age of twenty-four – is already a meteoric superstar, becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend.
Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame. Based on Priscilla Presley's 1985 memoirs, covering the years from their first meeting in Germany in 1959 until their divorce in 1973.
