Maria Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, lives the last days of her life in 1970s Paris, struggling with her identity and her life. Angelina Jolie and director Pablo Larraín discuss how they became involved in the heartbreaking true story of world-famous opera singer Maria Callas. The third and final film in Pablo Larraín’s so-called “Lady with Heels” trilogy of female-led biographies, following Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021). Maria Kallas: Book me a table in a café where the waiters know who I am. I’m in a praising mood. Close-up: What do we need the Venice Film Festival for? (2024).

I’m sure this film was made with great care and love, but what I think was missing the most was BREATHING. Opera singers learn to control their breathing in order to captivate us. And I agree with the other less favorable reviews that the opening scene was a really bad example of lip-syncing, especially since I couldn’t see Ms. Jolie breathing! Sure, La Callas lived a glamorous life, but I thought the focus was more focused. on the visual direction of this film. This is the film that made me stop watching it until the end, and I regret it. I had high hopes for these two iconic women too. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more details!
