Why watch the movie The King?
"Selected at the Cannes Film Festival, 'The King' is much more than a documentary about the rise and fall of the greatest rock star in US history. The documentary uses Elvis Presley as a powerful metaphor for another rise and fall: that of the American Dream. True to the tradition of street films, it portrays the American cultural and social landscape, trapped in a cynical lethargy forty years after Elvis's death. Directed by Eugene Jarecki (awarded for 'The House I Live In'), the feature film is presented by Alec Baldwin, well known for several roles in cinema and for his appearances in 'Saturday Night Live'."
