AMIGOS DE ESPAÑOL

Sofia Coppola

American film director, screenwriter, producer, and former actress

Cullinan which was released in 1966. These examples show just how intrinsically linked cinema and literature are, especially in the universe that Coppola has created.  Based on the 1985 memoir Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley, Coppola’s  new film Priscilla, recounts the tale of how young Priscilla Beaulieu met rock-and-roll superstar Elvis Presley, and how their relationship became the stuff of legend.
