TOwoeful, beautiful, restless. And stronger than they look. They are the girls to whom, after eight films, he has gotten us used to Sophia Coppola. Priscilla Beaulieu married Presleyprotagonist of his ninth work, presented today at Venice Film Festivalit is no less.
Inspired by the book elvis and mewritten by Presley herself with Sandra Harmon, Priscilla is the story oflove as all-encompassing as it is toxic, turbulent and therefore eternal between the king of rock’n’roll and his young queen. She is just 14 when the two meet, he is already a superstar. She is played by Cailee Spaenyborn in 1998, actress and singer with a handful of films and series to her credit, including The ritual of the witches And Murder in Easttown; in his shoes there is Jacob Elorditwenty six year old Australian, teen idol thanks to The Kissing Booth and subsequent chapters.
What is striking about Cailee’s character is exactly what struck us about Marie Antoinette in Marie Antoinette or of Cleo in Somewhere. They are all lonely teenagers who need to compensate for the emptiness they have inside and around; I am vulnerable, very sensitive; are the representatives of a dreamy youth that crashes with reality, often with men of reality. Some eventually pull out their nails, some don’t.
Priscilla falls in love with one who He molds her by choosing her clothes, make-up and wig, thus making it the female version of himself; of someone who wants her at home, indeed at Graceland, at her disposal.
Even Marie Antoinette (a wonderful Kirsten Dunst) is trapped in the golden cage of Versaillesbetween brioches and macarones, and like Priscilla, crosses the stages of being a woman in such an amplified world.
Cleo in Somewhere, or Elle Fanning in version eleven year old nepo babyhas to contend with a famous and absent fatherto whom it makes known the sense of hope.
Each of them lives common experiences faced in unusual contexts.
Are they heroines? No. Are they feminist icons? Not again. Are they unique? Yes, and that’s why we always feel very close to them.
