Priscilla And What’s Making Us Happy

The new film Priscilla tells the story of Elvis Presley’s wife, but it’s not a by-the-book biopic. Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, the movie shows how Priscilla (Cailee Spaeny) and Elvis (Jacob Elordi) first meet, fall in love, get married, and eventually split in the early ’70s. But it’s also a moodier look at the way Priscilla is walled off, isolated from family, and kept at a distance from his life of superstardom.
