chance of blowing a scene because there's nothing to challenge him as an actor. He's very comfortable singing, smiling, looking handsome, and negative. For the restoration, the original negative was scanned in 4K/16bit, however the opening title sequence was very grainy because it originally Alongside that, Luhrmann makes an awful lot of use of sound effects and there’s a beautiful dynamic range to them, again utilising the same balanced tonal mix of the music. Add in the perfectly captured dialogue that’s always clear (when it should be – some of Elvis’s songs have dropped words and slightly muffled lines, but that’s in keeping with the performance aspect of the design) and all three elements are in perfect harmony, delivering a wonderfully complex and layered mix that is an effortless and delightful listen.

A Digital Copy of the film is included via a paper insert with a redeem code, which is compatible with either AppleTV (iTunes) or Vudu. Bigger Than Life: The Story of ELVIS“ (22 minutes, 23 seconds – HD) focuses on the man himself, Elvis Presley, and how this unconventional biopic pays tribute to his legacy as well as tells the story of his crooked manager. Here you’ll get lots of behind-the-scenes footage, on-set footage, clips from the film, footage from Graceland (in Memphis) as well as Elvis’s birthplace (Tupelo), and interviews with the following people: Baz Luhrmann (director, producer, writer), Austin Butler (Elvis), Tom Hanks ( “Colonel Tom Parker”), Catherine Martin (costume designer, production designer, producer), Schuyler Weiss (producer), Gail Berman (producer), Yola (“Sister Rosetta Tharpe”), Kevin Harrison, Jr. (B.B. King), Polly Bennett (movement coach, choreographer), Mark Coulier (prosthetics designer), Shane Thomas (hair and makeup designer), Jason Baird (prosthetics supervisor), Olivia DeJonge (Priscilla), Mandy Walker (director of photography), and Dacre Montgomery (Steve Binder).

And yet Luhrmann and his cadre of screenwriters decide to cut through it all with some stark and brave narrative choices……frame the entire film as a medicated fever dream of Elvis’s long-term manager/nemesis Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), which not only turns the entire thing into less of a straight-forward biopic and more a battle for the soul of Elvis, but also justifies the assault on the senses that Luhrmann delivers in his typical OTT brand of cinematic excess. new rolling routine that now includes the ball shadow, the ball drop sound from Rothbauer and my ball speed control. lazy, rainy weekend afternoon on the strength of its cheerful locations and nearly endless musical numbers, performed by its star, alone. But the film Luhrmann's direction and the film's editing, there's just too much wrong (or at least off) to ignore.

It’s a sound mix that is larger than life, perhaps like the unique sound that “The King” provided us with before he left the building for good. Hearing a movie is just as important to physical media as it is for the visual perspective, especially for a musical biopic. For a slightly warmer take on Elvis and a more detailed synopsis of the story, please refer to Brian Orndorf's theatrical review. Curious newcomers, as well as those who saw and enjoyed it theatrically, From its opening logos, you’re under no illusion that this is pure Luhrmann – he might have been away from our screens since 2013’s ‘ The Great Gatsby’, but he’s lost nothing of his visual sensibilities: the entire film is a whirligig of kaleidoscopic images, split-screen montages stitched together with machine gun editing and a kinetic sense of motion that never lets up across its 159-minute run-time. It's breathless, especially in its opening act, where time periods slip and slide across each other as Parker’s narration gets the audience up to speed with Presley, and it could so easily disorientate… but it somehow seems a perfect match for the sequin-festooned, gaudily glamorous excess of Elvis’s life that, together with its established structure of taking part in Parker’s drug-induced mind, presents Presley in almost the only way that it could. Elvis’s parents, Vernon Presley ( Richard Roxburgh) and Gladys Presley ( Helen Thomson), want their son to be happy and are very supportive of his pursuit to be a musical performer as we see here in the film. Things are a bit rough at first for him, as he gets a bit nervous before performances and in turn, gyrated his hips and shook his arms and legs to the music.

Elvis does his best to carry it, playing a hopelessly two-dimensional character and offering little more than, like the rest of the movie, the expected superficialities to cover up the flat script and vacant story.
