Priscilla
North Bay Film returns to the Capitol Centre on January 17th with PRISCILLA, the acclaimed new film by visionary filmmaker Sofia Coppola.
When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock ‘n’ roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness and a vulnerable best friend.
“A transportive, heartbreaking journey into the dark heart of celebrity, and Coppola’s finest film since LOST IN TRANSLATION.”
– Marlow Stern, Rolling Stone
“The real beauty of Priscilla is its delicate portrayal of the all-consuming fire and flood of first love, and what happens when you grow up, and begin to realize the fairytale doesn’t always have a happy ending.”
– Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
– Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
“Unafraid of shattering rose-tinted glasses, Coppola’s film is fierce in its subtlety, relying on Spaeney’s breathtaking performance and the inherent tragedy of Priscilla’s story to deliver a film that’s equal parts beautiful and heartbreaking.”
