Elvis Presley’s cultural presence occasionally fades, despite never being truly forgotten. Recently, Baz Luhrmann has been instrumental in revitalizing interest in the King. First, he did so with his energetic 2022 biopic, Elvis, starring Austin Butler, and now with a new film, EPiC (Elvis Presley in Concert), which feels more like a tribute than a traditional documentary. EPiC is built from previously unseen footage – 59 hours of performances and interviews – discovered by Luhrmann’s team while researching the biopic. This footage had been stored in a Warner Bros. vault, surprisingly located in an underground salt mine in Kansas. Luhrmann also included rare Super 8 film from the Graceland archives. Painstakingly restored, this footage forms the heart of EPiC, and despite Luhrmann’s typically flamboyant style—or perhaps because of it—the film feels surprisingly personal and moving.

Polly Findlay directs with a subtle confidence, making it a solid and satisfying film.
