Elvis 12A
Oscar nominated filmmaker Baz Luhrmann explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Austin Butler), starring Austin Butler and Oscar Winner Tom Hanks. A thoroughly cinematic drama, Elvis’s story is seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom 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). Iconic of Luhrmann’s style this film looks packed with opulent reds and golds and just a hint of Elvis rhinestone.
