As it is written hollywood reporterPriscilla, one of the biggest films of this year’s Venice Film Festival, received a seven-minute standing ovation from director Sofia Coppola.
Thanks to a tentative deal just days before the festival, director Coppola as well as stars Caylee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi attended the premiere along with Priscilla Presley. The biography details her relationship with Elvis, whom she met at the age of 14.
Priscilla Presley said she found the film “difficult to watch”. The newspaper writes that during the applause, the actors and Presley could hardly hold back emotional tears.
Presley had previously admitted that the movie was difficult to watch. “It’s very difficult to watch a movie that tells about yourself, your life, and your love,” she said. “But Sofia did a great job,” the celebrity explained.
Presley was also candid about his time with Elvis and had to stop several times to wipe his tears.
“Elvis poured his heart out to me. His hopes, his fears, his loss of his mother, and I was really the one sitting there listening and comforting him. This was really our connection. Although I was 14 years old, I was older than my age, ”Priscilla shared.
The film was based on the 1985 memoir Elvis and Me, written by Presley and Sandra Harmon and produced by Lorenzo Mieli, Coppola and Urey Henley.
