Acclaimed filmmaker Sofia Coppola and indie powerhouse A24 come together for PRISCILLA to create a captiviating and empathetic adaptation of Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir 'Elvis and Me'. Starring Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla Presley and Jacob Elordi as “an immediately convincing” (IndieWire) Elvis, the viscerally emotive biopic has received rave reviews from critics following its Venice Film Festival Premiere last month with Spaeny winning the Best Actress award and being praised by Rolling Stone as an “absolute marvel” for her performance.
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, Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola 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.

"Empathetic rather than judgy, Coppola’s relationship drama hands agency back to its young heroine."
- Time Out
"An impeccable union of director and subject."
- Hollywood Reporter
"Sofia Coppola shunts Elvis to the shadows, to beautiful effect."
