"Jolie is a painting to be stared at in Pablo Larraín’s opulent drama, tottering around Paris in the 70s and drawing us in to tragedy as thoroughly as Bellini or Puccini." Guardian
The new film from Pablo Larrain (director of Jackie and Spencer) Maria tells the glamorous, moving story of the iconic opera singer, Maria Callas.
Paris, 1977: Once the world’s greatest soprano, Callas now hides in an apartment, having lost her voice and retreated from the world. She dreams of returning to the stage, but can her body and mind take the pressure?
Featuring some of Callas’s greatest recordings and starring Angelina Jolie in an Oscar®-worthy performance, Maria is a sumptuous drama that hits all the high notes.
