What Sofia Coppola always gets right

Early on in the new Sofia Coppola film, “Priscilla,” Elvis Presley assures the title character that there is nothing going on between him and Nancy Sinatra. “No, it’s not true, don’t believe everything you hear, Little Girl,” reads the screenplay (as seen in “Archive,” a recent art book of behind-the-scenes tidbits from Coppola’s work). The writer-director capitalizes those last two words as if they were a title. Despite his attraction to her, Elvis sees Priscilla as a Little Girl, a naive adolescent, a person to be controlled.
