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.
"Based on Priscilla Presley's own memoirs, this film couldn't fit better into Sofia Coppola's filmography (Lost in Translation): we witness the boredom, amid unsatisfying privilege, of a woman emotionally abandoned by her partner or loved ones. In this case, that woman is the wife of one of the greatest myths of American popular culture: Elvis Presley. Emphasis on "myth": Priscilla's memoirs and Coppola's film show the lesser-known side of the star, through the experience of an underage girl who, over time, discovered that behind the voice, talent, and fame was a volatile, drug-addicted, and violent man. If it's about getting a complete view of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Priscilla is the perfect counterpart to Baz Luhrmann's flamboyant Elvis, and the lead performances by Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi are impeccable."
