Playing at the UICA, The King
The King
Newly discharged from the U.S. Navy, Elvis Sandow (Gael García Bernal) travels in search of the father he's never known (William Hurt), now an evangelical pastor in Texas. With a beautiful wife (Laura Harring), a seemingly innocent daughter and a son bound for Bible college, the pastor wants nothing to do with the *** son who reminds him of a wayward past. Rejected yet again by the man who abandoned him at birth, Elvis sets out to destroy his father's Edenic existence.
“A compelling, intelligent and provocative sins-of-the-father story with a terrific ensemble cast, and a standout Mr. Ripley turn by the ever-versatile Gael García Bernal.” – Empire - Damon Wise
