EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (12A)
Running Time: 1hr 36mins
Director: Baz Luhrman
Resurrecting Elvis Presley at the peak of his showmanship, Baz Luhrmann’s truly epic concert documentary restores joy into The King’s legacy. The singular director has made a second film about the King of Rock’n’roll and this time audiences will get to see a side of him they’ve never seen before.
“This is a must-see for Presley fans and a boisterously enjoyable watch even for Elvis agnostics.” – Wendy Ide, The Observer
“Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis tribute is a five-star delight — and better than his biopic. Drawn from 69 boxes of forgotten footage discovered in a Kansas salt mine, this is a thrilling tribute to The King, even if you’re no fan of his music.” – Tom Shone, The Sunday Times
“His performances from 1970, swirled with the tour footage from 72, show both the depth of Elvis’s personal dynamism and the range of his vocal command. Those karate chop moves, big collars and grand gestures that later became satiric, here thrill. Key to that was the star’s rapport with the army of musicians, backup singers and orchestral accompanists that support him.” – The Guardian
“This new Elvis Presley concert movie is an intimate, sweaty and explosively joyous experience that revives the King’s reputation as one of the greatest performers of all time.” – Neil Mcormick, The Telegraph.
