NOVEMBER 3RD<br />

► Priscilla<br />

When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party,<br />

the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar<br />

becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a<br />

thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a gentle best friend. Through<br />

Priscilla’s eyes, Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American<br />

myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage,<br />

from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland,<br />

in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy,<br />

and fame. Priscilla is both written and directed by acclaimed<br />

American filmmaker Sofia Coppola, director of the movies The<br />

Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, Somewhere,<br />

The Bling Ring, The Beguiled, and On the Rocks.<br />

► What Happens Later - Directed by Meg Ryan<br />

Two ex lovers, Bill (David Duchovny) and Willa (Meg Ryan)<br />

get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely<br />

delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find<br />

themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they<br />

did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual<br />

past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they<br />

begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something<br />

more enchanted. What Happens Later is directed by American<br />

actress turned filmmaker Meg Ryan, making her second feature<br />

film after directing Ithaca (2015) previously.<br />
