Together with Studium Generale, we invite you to our monthly film night on campus. This time we will shake those hips with the spectacle film by Baz Luhrmann about the one and only King of Rock ’n Roll: Elvis!

Imagine yourself in the world of The King in this peerlessly colorful biopic from director Baz Luhrmann (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge & The Great Gatsby). Austin Butler (Golden Globe winner best actor) and his hips convince immediately in this story of the young singer who makes it to rock ‘n roll sex god under pressure from his Dutch manager “Colonel Parker” (Tom Hanks). Elvis feels like one big videoclip to be enjoyed on a big screen.
