Welcome to our last podcast of 2024, but don't worry, we shall return in 2025. Until then listen to our musings on Sofia Coppola's Priscilla.

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, 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. 

Directed by Sofia Coppola 

Written by Priscilla Presley, Sandra Harmon and Sofia Coppola 

Starring Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi  and Ari Cohen
