I Saw Elvis!

 

I Saw Elvis!

Mr. Oskar Trobec is, foremost, Elvis Presley. The rest of his roles include a butcher, stamping guitars into his burgers, making Elvis’s wine and acting like a King on his Graceland estate, up in the Slovene hills where the roads end.

Can a documentary film portrait rest upon comic storytelling? What is the impact of a real persona on the perception of comedy? Is it possible to avoid mockery while coupling comedy with reality and uncovering sadness lurking behind each situation we laugh at?
