EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert

Elvis sings and tells his story like never before in a new cinematic experience from visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann (MOULIN ROUGE!, ROMEO + JULIET). “Resurrecting Elvis Presley at the peak of his showmanship, Baz Luhrmann’s truly epic concert documentary restores some joy into The King’s legacy, thank you very much.”
