Elvis
Elvis is an epic, big-screen spectacle from visionary, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Baz Luhrmann that explores the life and music of Elvis Presley, starring Austin Butler (in a Golden Globe and BAFTA-winning an also Oscar-nominated performance) and Tom Hanks.
A thoroughly cinematic drama, Elvis's (Butler) story is seen through the lens of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks). As told by Parker, the film delves into the complex dynamic between the two spanning over 20 years, from Presley's rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the significant and influential people in Elvis's life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).
"'Elvis' is hyperbolic, one-dimensional and ludicrous – but as high-excess cinematic myth-making, it’s a blast." (Uncut Magazine)
"'Elvis' is propelled forward — almost maniacally so — by Presley’s music... The relentless music makes the whole thing feel like a montage... But it’s infectious." (Vox)
"'Elvis', in the epic tradition of all of Luhrmann’s work, is a brash, overwhelming experience... It’s too much. Yet if it were any less excessive, it wouldn’t be as doggedly effective as it often is." (Rolling Stone Magazine)
