Trailer
This biographical musical drama portrays the life of Elton John (Taron Egerton), including his 1984 marriage to German sound engineer Renate Blauel (Celinde Schoenmaker). The film depicts the marriage as a short-lived, hollow arrangement—showing separate bedrooms and emotional distance.
John married Blauel while still publicly closeted; they divorced in 1988. The film frames this as a textbook lavender marriage born of internal conflict and societal pressure, portraying the moment of realization through the lens of John's flamboyant musical fantasy sequences. Also starring Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, and Bryce Dallas Howard.
