The 'Elvis' director and DP Mandy Walker received a standing ovation Monday night at Poland's cinematography film festival.
screening, Luhrmann and Walker returned to the stage for a conversation about the movie. The director received enthusiastic applause as he stated his commitment to the theatrical experience. “I said, ‘I’m not going to make the movie if it goes straight to streaming,'” he said. “We’re making theatrical movies for the theater.”
Walker described their meticulous planning process. “Working with Baz, nothing is uncertain in terms of how we shoot each scene. It’s always about storytelling,” she said, noting that this involves all departments including production design, hair styling and make-up. “There, we formulate the idea for every sequence. We talk about it in terms of emotion and how we want the audience to experience this moment. Baz spends a lot of time involving us all.
“Baz has created a movie that my parents love, and there’s also a new audience [for Elvis’ story],” Walker continued. “It’s that combination — trying to replicate that archival part of it but also make it something that appeals to all audiences. To make that visual language work—it’s introducing Elvis in a modern way to a new audience.”
Luhrmann elaborated, “We had to say what it was back then, but young people had to know what it felt like back that. So everything we did was what Elvis did. Bringing in older audiences, young audiences, all audience, into the theater.” Noting thatis currently the highest grossing non-franchise domestic film of the year with $151 million , he added, “I think we have done something that Elvis would have tried to do too.
