SPECIAL | Elvis Presley in Concert (engl.OV)
Donnerstag um 20:15 Uhr, Freitag und Mittwoch um 18:15 Uhr, Sonntag um 20:50 Uhr
Directed by Baz Luhrmann
Baz Luhrmann once again explores the subject of his 2022 film by exclusively using newly discovered archival material from the early days of Elvis Presley in Las Vegas. The footage shows the beginning of his performances in 1969, which were originally planned for just a few weeks at the hotel but continued for years. The film combines scenes from rehearsals, where Presley appears both focused and relaxed, with recordings of his stage performances in the gambling metropolis. This creates a portrait of the artist during a phase when his stay in Las Vegas unexpectedly became a central chapter of his career.
