The documentary by Baz Luhrmann opens in theaters this week. I have been seeing rave reviews.
The movie features long-lost films found at the Graceland estate and restored.
The Hanford Sentinel posted a review which starts with:
Over the years, countless attempts have been made to resurrect the King, whether it was movies, TV specials or musical ventures celebrating his artistry and legacy, attempting to bring him back and keep him among us.
No single project has done a better job of making Elvis feel present and alive than "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert," director Baz Luhrmann's dazzling documentary-slash-concert film, which lets us see and feel Elvis on stage, in his element.
It's a pure joy to see, to feel, to behold, as Elvis tells his story, in his own words, and hits the stage to let us bask in his greatness. The movie, meanwhile, helps to reclaim Elvis as a singular force of nature, an otherworldly dynamo, not the parody of himself with which we've come to associate his Vegas years.
The movie will be opening February 27 at the Red Rock 10 Theaters in Gallup. I'll be seeing it there.
