Maria12A

Directed by Pablo Larraín | USA | 2023 | 2h 3m | Starring Angelina Jolie, Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Haluk Bilginer, Kodi Smit-McPhee

In the 1970s, famed opera singer Maria Callas retreats to Paris, her health in decline, and reflects on the soaring heights of her career and the many loves that defined her life. Through intimate conversations with a journalist, she revisits a life lived under the relentless gaze of the public eye. Following his celebrated biopics Jackie and Spencer, Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín directs this poignant and empathetic portrait of Maria Callas, brought to life with grace and depth by Angelina Jolie.

Nominated for Best Cinematography at the Academy Awards.

Reviews

‘As in Jackie and Spencer, Maria offers a wide-open vista of its subject through an arrow-slit of a temporal window: in this case, the final week of Callas’s life.’
★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

‘La Diva Eterna lives in Jolie, with a performance as towering as it is understated: sad and soulful and heartbreaking. She has never been better. Brava!’
★★★★
John Nugent, Empire Magazine
