Jacob Burns Film Center: Elvis
This epic, big-screen spectacle from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet, The Great Gatsby) explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Austin Butler, Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood). As seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Oscar winner Tom Hanks). Elvis delves into the complex dynamic between the two, spanning over 20 years—from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom—set against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape. Central to that journey is one of the significant and influential people in Elvis’ life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge, HBO’s The Staircase).
