Maria Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, lives the last days of her life in 1970s Paris, where she confronts her identity and her life. Angelina Jolie and director Pablo Larraín tell how they were brought together by the heartbreaking true story of world-famous opera singer Maria Callas. The third and final film in Pablo Larraín’s trilogy, the so-called “Lady in Heels”, consisting of biographies of women, after Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021). Maria Callas: Book me a table in a café where the waiters know who I am. I feel like worshipping. Mentioned in Close-up: Why do we need a Venice Film Festival? (2024). Otello Act 4: “Ave Maria” (Desdemona) Performed by Maria Callas, Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire. Conductor: Nicola Rescigno Written by: Giuseppe Verdi, Arrigo Boito Published by Warner Classics, (p) 1964 Parlophone Records2, Warner Records0Remas4. Music Group Germany Holding GmbH, a Warner Music Group company. I’m sure this film was made with great care and love, BUT I felt that what was missing most was BREATHING. Opera singers learn to control their breathing in order to charm our people. I agree with other, less favorable reviews that the opening scene was a really bad example of lip-syncing, especially since I didn’t see Ms. Jolie breathe! Of course La Callas lived in luxury, but I think the emphasis in this film was more on the visual side. This is the film that made me stop watching 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 information!
