Product Information

The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival on May 25, 2022, where it received a twelve-minute standing ovation from the audience, the longest for an Australian film at the festival and tying with Hirokazu Kore-eda's Broker for the longest overall.

[70] Bigger Than Life: The Story of Elvis (22:22) - Baz Luhrmann, Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, costume designer Catherine I've purposely delayed from discussing the best reason to go see all 160 ungainly minutes, and that is Butler's glorious performance. The young man simply dissolves into the role and makes you forget you're watching an actor. The way he captures the cadence, the drawl, the presence of Elvis, and not just his jerky movements, is phenomenal, and then you remember that it's Butler doing all his own singing as well, and the spell is near complete. He is Elvis. It's a performance guaranteed to win as many plaudits as awards season has to offer. Through Butler's performance, a younger generation can understand what all the hubbub was about. The man brings the character to life but he especially brings Elvis the performer to startling life. Even if you hate Luhrmann's other movies, and he is definitely divisive, and even if you couldn't care less about Elvis in the year 2022, this movie is well worth watching for the sheer brilliance of Butler alone.

The way the man shook his hips, moved his body, his gyrations that so many adults felt were dangerously subversive, were part and parcel of the younger Elvis. He really was a born performer, and even says he can't sing if he isn't allowed to move how he feels he must with the music. During this crazy sequence, Luhrmann's camera is trained on the emotional response of the audience experiencing a sensation that cannot be contained, bubbling to the surface into tears, shrieks, and convulsions, and it moves through the crowd like waves. It's such an enthusiastic experience that plays right into the stylistic and tonal wheelhouse of Luhrmann. It's also an unsubtle reminder, not that much is subtle in a Luhrmann movie, that part of the man's appeal was his raw sexual magnetism. tell-all by Presley's manager "Colonel" Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), a man accused of mismanaging the star's funds and estate for decades by Respers France, Lisa (May 16, 2022).
