Synopsis
Is marriage a life sentence? From the ribbon-decorated prison for Marie Antoinette, here comes a pink-hued cell for Priscilla Presley. Adapted from her memoir, Sofia Coppola’s stylish bio-pic is undoubtedly her tale, tracing her intricate relationship with the rock’n’roll star, which began when she was just 14. Taking a modern-day perspective, Coppola evokes the aching solitude and isolation of a young woman who simultaneously has everything and nothing. Giving her Priscilla sensitivity to shape herself and determination to take her exit, Cailee Spaeny was named Best Actress at Venice.
