by Discover the ultimate biopic devoted to singer Elvis Presley, interpreted by Austin Butler in “Elvis”.
Music biopics have been numerous for recent years, but it has been unjustly shunned by 2023 Oscars. He is called Elvis, and he is therefore devoted to the famous rocker Elvis Presley. The role was entrusted to Austin Butler, who gave himself up by preparing two years for the role, to the point that he will then find it difficult to get rid of it. To find out, go to Netflix.
A singer exploited
Warner Bros.
Elvis starts from the singer’s beginnings to the peak of his glory, including the TV show entitled “Elvis Comeback 68” and his return to the stage in Las Vegas, great moments of his career. He also explores his excesses and his conflictual relationship with his manager “Colonel” Parker, who will make the most of the notoriety of his only customer.
Parker is embodied by Tom Hanks, who rarely embodies the “bad guys” and who gave himself to my heart in the role of this manager-exploter who smells of the good deal and who presses his client until he has no more energy.
Named at 8 Oscars
Warner Bros.
The realization is provided by Baz Luhrmann, specialist in musicals after Ballroom, Moulin Rouge! Or the Get Down series. He gives the best of himself on the sung sequences, brilliantly filming his actor and the iconing by subtle games of light and value of plans.
Appointed to 8 Oscars, the most prestigious of which, Elvis leaves empty -handed from the ceremony, and Austin Butler loses the Oscar for best actor against Brendan Fraser in The Whale. The actor will find it difficult to “leave Elvis” and declare that he had struggled to shoot his following project, the war series Masters of the Air, for which he will hire a coach allowing him to lose the way of speaking and the accent of Elvis. That is to say if he had given himself thoroughly!
