Manage episode 334883290 series 3045441
Today, we are joined by a special guest, Lisa Bonnici, to review Elvis. From Austin Butler’s faithful performance, bringing the King back to life, to Tom Hank’s eerily apt portrayal of the ‘villain’, Colonel Tom Parker, the film boasts incredible acting and tasteful directorial choices. In this episode, we discuss the plot line, the effectiveness of Baz Luhrman’s ‘show, don’t tell’ editing style, as well as the iconic director’s ability to allow the emotional scenes to breathe.
