Priscilla (dir. Sofia Coppola) x VIFF 2023.

Coppola faithfully adapts Priscilla Presley’s (née Beaulieu) famed bestselling 1985 memoir Elvis and Me into a tender yet piercing coming-of-age biographical drama of her own. Starring Cailee Spaeny, Priscilla is a subdued but darkly illuminating portrait of a naïve teenage girl’s lost childhood thrust into stardom as the wife of the rock ‘n roll icon in a welcome antidote to last year’s maximalist Elvis movie musical.
