Elvis: biographical musical film released in Brazil

The biopic about idol Elvis Presley – one of the greatest artists of all time – hits theaters all over Brazil. And nothing better than having its debut in the week when International Rock Day is celebrated.

The film signed by Australian director Baz Luhrmann is a masterpiece, similar to hits like Moulin Rouge, Strictly Ballroom - one of the director's first films that marked the 1980s, and Romeo and Juliet, with Leonardo DiCaprio. Elvis has a brilliant, euphoric direction with many details.

There's no way to avoid spoilers when talking about Elvis Presley, but what's most interesting about the piece of art is that the film revolves around the point of view of Elvis' agent and manager Tom Parker, played masterfully by Tom Hanks.

Tom Parker was ambivalent, mainly because he overbilled commissions from Elvis' concerts, and as a consequence, a lawsuit against him was initiated.

One of the highlights of the film is undoubtedly the brilliant debut in a major production of Californian actor Austin Butler, which incorporates Elvis at various stages of the star's life. In Cannes, where the film had its first screening, Austin told the press that he became so obsessed with the character that he immersed himself in it for two years, a period in which he studied every detail of Elvis' quirks. Even the different tones of voice he's had over the years have been emulated: deeper, huskier.

Great musical hits from Elvis' career are present in this great production, which cannot disappoint the viewer.
