Everything behind the scenes is still part of the show
When teenager Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar, he becomes someone entirely unexpected in their shared 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.
The movie offers a deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame. At its core, the real theme is royal loneliness — the hollow, isolated existence amid immense wealth. Directed by Sofia Coppola, the film is based on Priscilla Presley’s autobiographical book Elvis and Me.
