Angelina Jolie Returns to Film as Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín's 'Maria'

The movie explores the final days of the iconic opera singer, blending Jolie’s performance with Callas’ legacy in a visually rich narrative.

Angelina Jolie makes a cinematic comeback portraying opera legend Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín's drama 'Maria'.
The film focuses on the last days of Callas' life in 1970s Paris, highlighting her isolation and struggles with public pressure and personal loss.
Jolie underwent seven months of operatic training, with her singing blended with Callas' voice to create an authentic portrayal.
The movie is visually striking but intentionally distant, reflecting Larraín's style seen in previous works like 'Jackie' and 'Spencer'.
Jolie expressed personal connections to Callas' isolation and vulnerability, drawing parallels between their public personas and private lives.
