Sofia Coppola’s ‘Sympathetic Tribute’ Shines Light on Elvis Presley’s Beloved Wife in ‘Priscilla’

Claire Martin Published September 4, 2023

Sofia Coppola, renowned for her unique cinematic style and storytelling prowess, takes on a fresh and intimate project with “Priscilla.” This film brings the perspective of Priscilla Presley to the forefront, adapting her memoir, “Elvis and Me.” In stark contrast to the bombastic portrayal of Elvis Presley’s life in recent biopics, “Priscilla” offers a subdued and introspective look at a unique love story.

Coppola celebrated for her ability to capture the lives of the wealthy in luxurious settings, diverges from the typical Elvis narrative, famously depicted in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic. Instead of focusing on the spotlight of Elvis’s concerts and records, “Priscilla” delves deep into the life of Priscilla Presley, offering an intimate examination of their relationship.

One notable absence in this narrative is Tom Hanks’s portrayal of Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’s manager. The film allows Priscilla’s perspective to shine without the presence of the famous Colonel.

Cailee Spaeny takes on the role of Priscilla Beaulieu during her formative years, and the story begins on a U.S. military base in Germany in 1959. The stage is set for their unique love story through a chance encounter at a party hosted by one of Elvis’s army buddies.

What sets “Priscilla” apart from conventional celebrity narratives is its portrayal of Elvis as someone who cherished a platonic connection with Priscilla for years, despite her willingness to take their relationship to a more intimate level. This nuance adds depth and authenticity to their story, emphasizing the complexities of their bond.

In this context, the film’s “intimacy coordinator” had a limited role to play, as the narrative’s focus remains on the emotional dynamics and evolution of the relationship between Elvis and Priscilla. Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” promises to offer a fresh perspective on an iconic love story, inviting audiences to explore the human side of a legendary figure.
