Elvis: Are You Lonesome Tonight? (2020)

Are You Lonesome Tonight? follows Presley's familiar path from a poor Southern boy captivated by both white gospel music and the R&B of the Black community all the way to an obese 42-year-old who, in 1977, suffered a fatal heart attack fueled by prescription drugs. Among the many music clips along the way: the young singer's galvanizing 1956 appearance in Tupelo, Mississippi, before 20,000 screaming teens and a deeply moving rendition of "Unchained Melody" in Rapid City, South Dakota, months before his death. But Lonesome veers from the usual account with a POV suggesting that several Presley traits - the need for adulation from his fans, the sense that he was undeserving of his fame, the extravagance and indulgence of every desire - covered a deep survivor's guilt and emptiness.
