Aristotle Onassis, a longtime associate of Maria Callas, later married former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy
Scenario
Marija Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, is living out her final days in 1970s Paris as she confronts her identity and her life. Kennedy was the subject of Pablo Larraín’s previous biopic, 2016’s Jackie, starring Natalie Portman.
I feel like bragging
Maria Callas: Book me a table in a café where the waiters know who I am. Close: Why do we need a Venice Film Festival?
Jolie’s performance is superb, and I strongly believe she deserves an Oscar nomination
(2024). This film is emotionally and movingly crafted, drawing me in from the very first scene.
This film is definitely worth watching and will definitely move you
Her portrayal is subtle and nuanced, and it’s the best performance by a woman I’ve seen all year. The sets are simply stunning, and the acting is excellent, even from the canine companions.
The scene in the rain is extremely cinematic and captures the essence of drama and emotion at its best
I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys opera or is just looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant experience. It’s a great story that explores the final days of a diva’s life as she struggles with monotony and longing for a past that cannot be reclaimed.
