Priscilla

Based on Priscilla Presley's autobiography about her life as Elvis' partner and wife, Sofia Coppola created the drama before us. As in previous chapters in her filmography ("Lost in Translation," "Marie Antoinette"), here too, Coppola follows a young woman - the couple met when Priscilla was 14 - imprisoned in a gilded cage and tries to capture how her emotional and material world is shaped. Coppola, in this "quietly extraordinary" (Time) work, continues to demonstrate precise direction, utilizing the camerawork and design to convey emotional states.
