Elvis and the Hysteria of Baz Luhrmann
Manage episode 334150561 series 2858749
You may know writer-director-producer Baz Luhrmann from such expensive spectacles as The Great Gatsby, Australia, and Moulin Rouge! Co-hosts Dolores and Eileen talk about Luhrmann's hysterically melodramatic films and disagree sharply on how successfully his new biopic Elvis represents the life and career of legendary performer Elvis Presley, debating in particular how the film stands on the entrenched "Elvis authenticity thesis." (Short version of theory: young "real" pioneering rocker Elvis = good, and older "fake" Las Vegas Elvis = bad.)
