ELVIS & NIXON (15)Dir: Liza Johnson 2016 USA 86minsWith: Kevin Spacey, Michael Shannon

This comedy tells the surreal true story of when Elvis turned up at the White House in December 1970 requesting an audience with President Nixon. He was there to offer to go undercover for the “Bureau of Narcotics And Dangerous Drugs”, a non-existent post in which the King imagined himself going undercover to combat America’s rising drug problem. As the iconic singer, Michael Shannon perfectly captures Elvis’s swagger, whilst Kevin Spacey as Nixon betrays that odd mixture of insecurity and bombast that characterised the soon-to-be impeached president.
