Showings

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.

Coppola isn’t a showy director – there’s never a sense that her ego is gatecrashing the story – but she is a distinctively empathic observer.

Muted, restrained and delicate are not words that ordinarily come up in a discussion of Elvis Presley, which is why Sofia Coppola’s approach to the King is so unexpected and refreshing in Priscilla.
