Priscilla

Priscilla

Directed by Sofia Coppola 

Now Playing!

When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll 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.

Review - Paste Magazine 

"The part of Priscilla’s life shown in the film – the waiting, the isolation, the prison of male perceptions and expectations of femininity – could easily resemble hell. With her trademark acuity, Coppola finds moments of beauty, too: a roller-rink glow, the nostalgic edges of early home movies, the girl-world rituals like toenail-painting and eyelash application. It’s both seductive and terribly sad. Most people grow out of adolescence whether they want to or not. In Priscilla, the heroine has to leave by choice."
