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, Oscar-winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola (LOST IN TRANSLATION, MARIE ANTOINETTE) 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. With Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi.

“The genius of Coppola’s film is that it is both knowingly hollow and somehow deeply felt all at once, celebrating female self-ownership and the travails of learning to know oneself.” (Dazed and Confused)

“Priscilla is not a “biopic” about Priscilla Presley; it’s a memoir. It is a story told not about, but through its main subject.” (VOX)

“Again and again, [Coppola ‘s] films proclaim: There is so much more to this woman than meets the eye. Do not be distracted by the shiny baubles — something far more interesting happening here.” (Baltimore Magazine)
