Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth, Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage. From a German army base, where 14 year old Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.

Mark says:
“Given the speed at which many pop biopics are churned out, it’s interesting that nearly 40 years have passed since Priscilla Presley first published her side of the Elvis story. It’s taken a director with the status and credibility of Sofia Coppola to persuade the Hollywood machine that this story of a young woman is worth telling.
We think we know what happened but witnessed from Priscilla’s point of view, Coppola presents a unique and eye-opening experience.

Reviews:
“With Priscilla, Sofia Coppola proves once again that she is the premier chronicler of what it feels like for a girl – in darkness and in light, in public and in private.” Lee Jutton, Film Enquiry.

“A meticulously crafted character study that tells it’s story through it’s character, Priscilla is a beautifully written and tremendously well-acted film that will stay in your mind days after viewing.” Rebecca Johnson, Film Focus Online.

“Sofia Coppola’s film does not include a single Elvis Presley song. The absence is conspicuous, a little strange at first, but entirely appropriate. Especially since the director has very little interest in the legend.” Aglaia Berluttui, Pop Con Cine
