THIS weekend, Weston's newest cinema will be showing a different side to a "great American love story."
From tomorrow (Friday, January 12) the Plaza Cinema, situated in the former ODEON building, will be screening Sofia Coppola’s "intimate, unflinching portrait of Elvis and Priscilla" in a new film, appropriately called Priscilla.
The movie's description reads: "When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend.
"Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame."
A spokesperson from the cinema said: "Discover a different side of a great American love story in Sofia Coppola’s intimate, unflinching portrait of Elvis and Priscilla, starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi. Showing from Friday, book now."
