As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

The iconic Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation) returns with PRISCILLA, a deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy and fame. Starring Golden Globe nominee Cailee Spaeny and Saltburn’s Jacob Elordi, Coppola’s film presents the unseen story of Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s long courtship and turbulent marriage. Their romance is a great American myth that spans decades and oceans, from the army base where they met to his dream-world estate at Graceland.

Faithfully adapting Priscilla’s own memoir, and anchored by Spaeny’s Venice Best Actress winning performance, this is a mature and masterful cinematic feast for the senses that sees Coppola at the very top of her game.
