Elvis Presley Turkish

Lucky Jackson arrives in town with his car literally in tow ready for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix - once he has the money to buy an engine. He gets the cash easily enough but mislays it when the pretty swimming pool manageress takes his mind off things. It seems he will lose both race and girl, problems made more difficult by rivalry from Elmo Mancini, fellow racer and womaniser.

En 1954, Elvis Presley enregistre à Memphis son premier tube, "That's all right". Cet événement, qui marque traditionnellement la naissance du rock'n'roll, permet à la ville de s'imposer définitivement sur la scène musicale internationale. C'est ici qu'est né le mythe musical de l'Amérique. Aujourd'hui encore, B. B. King possède son propre club sur la fameuse Beale Street. Gibson, fabricant de guitares, et Stax Records, la plus célèbre maison de production de musique soul - où Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett et Isaac Hayes ont enregistré leurs disques - y ont également leur siège. Le documentaire retrace la naissance et l'héritage de la musique américaine. Un voyage qui rend hommage à des artistes légendaires et présente la scène musicale d'aujourd'hui à Memphis. Les innombrables clubs de la ville mettent à l'honneur aussi bien ces stars mythiques que les musiciens qu'ils ont influencés, pour le plus grand bonheur d'un public à l'enthousiasme inégalé.

Director David Byrne (of Talking Heads) takes an outside-looking-in glance at Texas and Texans in True Stories. Casting himself as the protagonist/narrator, Byrne adopts what he thinks is "standard" western garb and drives his red convertible into the small town of Virgil. Here he observes the town's preparations for celebrating Texas' sesquicentennial, taking time out to introduce us to several of the local oddballs. Swoosie Kurtz plays Miss Rollings, the Laziest Woman in the World; Alix Elias is The Cute Woman, who decorates her home in the most hideously "sweet" manner imaginable; John Goodman is talent-contest entrant Louis Fyne, who harbors dreams of being a C&W star; Spalding Gray is Earl Culver, a vegetable-obsessed civic leader; Jo Harvey Allen is The Lying Woman; and so it goes. The script by Southerners Byrne, Beth Henley and Steven Tobolowksy strives to avoid subtlety.
