Luke Tomlinson (Impropod Podcast) and Ash Farkas return to Flixwatcher to review Luke’s choice Elvis.
Elvis (2022) is an epic Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz (Moulin Rouge!) Luhrmann. It stars Austin Bulter as Elvis Presley and Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker. Told from the Colonel’s point of view it tells the story of Elvis’ rise to fame and peak celebrity status.
Filmed in true Baz vision Elvis is loud, gaudy and chaotic version of Elvis’ early days and cult icon status. Interesting for a biopic it doesn’t feature any original Elvis recordings. Despite not winning the best actor Oscar, Austin Butler gives an impressive performance as Elvis.
Scores for Elvis were mixed, recommendability depends on your interest and enthusiasm for Elvis and the divisive Baz Luhrmann aesthetic, clocking in at two hours and 39 minutes it didn’t score high for repeat viewing either. Overall Elvis scores 2.75.
