Elvis, 2022 version: The rather short life of Elvis Presley, the revered singer considered one of the most prominent voices of the 20th century and who was also a successful film actor, returns to the screen, this time in the new film “Elvis”, which bears his first name.
Dr. Walla’s film critic spoke to Iris Cole on 103FM and commented on the film that brought Elvis back to life: “The film is very successful, Avner Shavit,“Probably relative to the period we are in after the Corona, this is one of the first films that managed to bring adult audiences to the halls.”
He added: “I think it’s almost the only type of film that can be successful nowadays. To bring in an audience, you have to rely on cultural assets that know them. The films are almost always made in collaboration with the musician if he is alive, or with the family if he is not.”
At the end, Shavit explained: “The film brings out Elvis well, he had a lot of problems in life but the film claims that he is not guilty of any of them. There are a lot of problems in the film and yet, everyone who loves Elvis will not only come, but bring friends. “Elvis imitates him, it’s a game, like in ‘Great Country.’ Whoever planned to go to the movie will do it.”
