Elvis [BD] [Blu-ray] [2022] [Region Free]

Product Information

The film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks). Most of the time the King of Rock 'n' Roll is a happy, enthusiastic, full of energy man who wants nothing more than to sing in front of his fans. Luhrmann has never bowed down to Hollywood executives to compromise his stunning vision in telling stories everyone knows by heart, whether it be his own version of Romeo + Juliet, a take on Moulin Rogue!

Elvis” [2022] was one very unique biopic that managed to tell the story of Elvis Presley and his crooked manager in a different way than we had ever experienced in the past. Essentially, what Baz Luhrmann describes is that they used different lenses for the three different decades that are primarily focused on Elvis Presley’s life here. This feeling of being overwhelmed struggled to survive in the helmer’s last endeavor, 2013’s “The Great Gatsby,” but Lurhmann is back to his old mischievous ways with operatic excess in “Elvis,” which isn’t a bio-pic of the legendary singer, but more of a comic book-style extravaganza about the icon and his extended stru . Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis's life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge). This unique and dazzling tale of the King of Rock N' Roll looks and sounds wonderful, but the long run time and the uneven pace keep it from hitting its target.Let’s face it, this film offers up one absolutely captivating visual presentation many thanks to the cinematography by the DP (director of photography) Mandy Walker. While this movie has never seen an official DVD release, we have now an 'escape' well worth catching . The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley's rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. That all being said, I won’t tell you the whole story here in my review of Elvis Presley’s life, in fact, the film doesn’t entirely do so 100% accurately, but I will say that this film manages to do one fantastic job of telling the story [as best as possible] and is an absolute must-see film for any fan of Elvis or those curious about the man, his life, and the music he performed. There are great moments of rebellion, his love for his child and mother, and wanting to make the best music and live performance there ever was, which Luhrmann also spotlights as well.

Luhrmann's long-time wife and frequent collaborator Catherine Martin are first rate, as are most of the musical productions and performances. L'esito appare ineluttabile con un epilogo degno del più classico rituale sacrificale che fa da eco ad una frase nota: il talento non basta (per sopravvivere). Luhrmann is Australian and he and a few others talk about how Australia and Los Angeles were used as the locations for the film. For the first time ever, using a 1st Generation digital copy of a TV Station tape, (originally used to broadcast 'The Special' in October 1977) it has been re-mastered frame by frame and now finally, released to fans to watch this in all its glory! Austin Butler did an astonishing pro-trail of the man himself and would be flattered, if Elvis was here today.For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. This 4K HEVC encode knows how to balance the bitrate out nicely and helps to deliver one absolutely stunning 4K video presentation. The film definitely can look better in high-definition, but I think that the current presentation is decent enough to recommend a purchase if you can find the release on sale. The film follows Elvis (Chaydon Jay/Butler) from childhood, where he encountered gospel and blues music for the first time, on his journey to becoming a rock and roll superstar. Central to that journey is one of the significant and influential people in Elvis' life, Priscilla Presley.
