Priscilla

Priscilla is a film that I will adore for many years to come. I’ll probably keep rewatching the moment I have free access on streaming. Sofia Coppola is such a blessing when it comes to film. Her amazing capability to show Priscilla’s thoughts and emotions without needing to express them vocally is something i love so much with this film. The miss en scene in general is captivating and the set design is so so so beautiful. The music is perfect, the shots are soo so well down and the colour grading of each shot is sooo Nicee. The acting is great and honestly I was judgemental about Jacob Elordi being Elvis at first but he pulls a pretty good Elvis. Cailee Spaeny is such a good Priscilla. Both of them have a nice natural chemistry on screen but they still shows signs of a slight separation, difference and barrier between them which can really help show the age gap and the nature of the relationship.  Now one thing that I liked but also didn’t liked is that those scenes such as the pool scene and when they first met made me feel so many different emotions. See the film focuses on Priscilla’s perspective and soo it’s very romantic and cute and at times I even fell for Elvis (or maybe I just personally find Jacob Elordi attractive) But then you come back to reality and remember that she was only a teenager and a very young teenager. Even in the older romantic scenes she’s still 10 years younger than him. But with saying that I think that is what is really done well. We still feel and know Priscilla’s perspective but we are also are reminded of the age gap and everything that was wrong with this relationship.   This film is very well done, it is so women.   I am still upset that this was snubbed for best design and adapted screenplay at the Oscars  Anyways slay.
