world-renowned opera singer Maria Callas
Tale
Maria Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, lives out her final days in 1970s Paris as she grapples with her identity and her life. Angelina Jolie and director Pablo Larraín discuss how they connected to the film’s heartbreaking true story. The third and final film in Pablo Larraín’s so-called “Lady in Heels” trilogy of female-led biopics, following Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021).
I’m in the mood for adulation
Maria Callas: Book me a table at a cafe where the waiters know who I am. Featured in Close-Up: Why Do We Need the Venice Film Festival? (2024).
This film is emotionally and emotionally crafted, pulling me in from the very first scene
Jolie’s performance is nothing short of exceptional, and I firmly believe she deserves an Oscar nomination. Her portrayal is subtle and nuanced, delivering the best female performance I’ve seen all year. The sets are simply stunning, and the acting is superb, even from the canine companions.
This film is definitely worth watching and will undoubtedly move you
The scene in the rain is particularly cinematic, capturing the essence of drama and emotion to the fullest. I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys opera or is simply looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant experience. It’s a wonderful story that explores the final days of a diva’s life as she struggles with the monotony and longing for a past that can never be recaptured.
