“Perhaps you can tell me about your life away from the stage?” “There is no life away from the stage.”
Oscar winner Angelina Jolie (Girl, Interrupted, A Mighty Heart) returns to the screen as celebrated opera singer Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s masterful new biopic. The latest film in his sequence of imaginative studies of iconic 20th century women (following Jackie and Spencer) Maria stars an awards-tipped Jolie as Callas, reflecting on her glamorous and tumultuous life – a life profoundly shaped by the passion, drama and total commitment of her operatic art – during her final years in 1970s Paris.
“Absolute perfection” Variety
