Director Sofia Coppola was certainly not to be envied in her new film “Priscilla”. Not only did Priscilla Presley’s autobiography serve as a model; Priscilla Presley was also a producer on the film. Nevertheless, “Priscilla” about Elvis Presley’s wife has become a typical Sofia Coppola film. The two met in Wiesbaden, and Priscilla first has to adjust to life in the United States and as the wife of a celebrity. Elvis showers her with jewelry and other attentions, but also forces her to take sedatives regularly. As a typical child of the 1950s, he expects his wife to submit. For example, she has to dye her hair black because he thinks it’s nicer that way. The film doesn’t offer any new revelations about Elvis; He himself caused the destruction of his reputation in the last years of his life. But “Priscilla” offers a complementary perspective from the wife for anyone interested in Elvis.
