My Life with Elvis

About This Movie

So, 'My Life with Elvis' is quite the quirky piece from the mid-90s, directed by Harry Hill, who was then getting some buzz on the London stand-up scene. It's shot on 16mm, giving it that grainy, somewhat nostalgic feel that feels both raw and intimate. The comedy here is really offbeat and madcap, reflecting that DIY spirit. You can sense the playful experimentation in the visuals, too, thanks to David Leister's influence. The pacing's a bit erratic, which works well for the humor, and the performances have this energetic spontaneity that keeps you engaged. It’s a neat snapshot of that era’s comedic style, with a mix of absurdity and charm that’s hard to pin down.
