“I was struck by Priscilla Presley’s autobiography of her years as a young woman at Graceland. And I tried to capture what he felt about immersing himself in the world of Elvisto then eventually re-emerge and discover its identity” explained the director of the film, Sofia Coppola. “As an artist for me it is important to show the world through the eyes of my characters, without judging” she said. “This film investigates the way Priscilla came to be who she isand what it means and has meant to be a woman for her and for the following generations,” she concluded.
