A review of Baz Luhrmann’s glitzy extravaganza, Elvis plus Cornelia Parker’s show at Tate Britain

In the latest episode of Cultural Capital, we visit Tate Britain to see the long-overdue retrospective show by the artist Cornelia Parker – it’s not one to miss.
Plus a charming portrait in Sir John Soane’s at Lincoln’s Inn Fields is our Thing of the Week
And we’ll be reviewing Baz Luhrmann’s glitzy extravaganza, Elvis. In true Luhrmann style you start the rollercoaster at the top and it doesn’t let up, ratcheting from Elvis’s first musical awakening in the black churches through his obsession with black music, his marriage, stratospheric stardom, Vegas triumph and his exhausted, drug-addicted collapse.
