DER ELVIS
REVIEWS
One of the "top 50 movies of the 1980's" - The Village Voice
"Best of the 80's" - LA Weekly
"Never has The King's insouciant sex appeal seemed so creepy, so nose-in-the-trough piggish
as it does in the 22-minute DER ELVIS." - The Village Voice, C. Carr, 11-3-87
"Obscene, energetic, and grotesque... DER ELVIS is less a barbaric yawp than a 20-minute retch,
building in ferocity until the final unctuous voice-over." - The Village Voice, J. Hoberman, 11-24-87
