There has never been a more obsessed-over American pop icon than Elvis Presley, right? So what does Sofia Coppola do as a kind of palate cleanser to the pop extravaganza of Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis”? Give space, time, and breathing room to tell the story of his overlooked and overshadowed wife, Priscilla Beaulieu, aka Priscilla Presley.

With films like “Marie Antoinette” and “Lost In Translation,” Coppola has already excelled at telling girlhood stories of teenage alienation, and her latest film, “Priscilla,” which debuted at the Venice Film Festival earlier this fall and now makes its North American premiere at the New York Film Festival, looks as if it will do the same.

And you may have noticed us championing the 25-year-old Cailee Spaeny, who has been terrific in things like “Pacific Uprising” (2018), “Devs” (2020), and the HBO crime drama “Mare of Easttown” (2021). She’s been poised to be a star for some time now, and it looks like Coppola—who teased an award-winning Best Actress prize out of her at Venice—has pulled that off.

“Priscilla” stars Spaeny, and “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi features as Elvis. While other actors appear, Dagmara Domińczyk, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, Luke Humphrey, and more, it seems to be more or less their story and their movie.

Here’s the official synopsis:

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.

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. Coming on November 3 to theaters via A24. Watch the new trailer below.
