Description

Over a month before its nationwide release, Cinecitta will screen the new film about Maria Callas. Maria is a captivating and visually rich story featuring an extraordinary performance by Oscar winner Angelina Jolie.

Maria tells the story of the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. In an intimate portrayal of the final days of this iconic diva's life, the film explores her struggles with haunting visions, mental health, the fear of losing her voice, and memories of her youth and loved ones. Accompanied by servants, friends, and her beautiful music, Callas wanders through the rooms of her apartment and the streets of 1970s Paris. Through her struggles with fame, love, and the pursuit of artistic perfection, the film reveals the vulnerable woman behind the icon.

After Jackie and Spencer, Pablo Larraín presents the final installment of his trilogy of poignant and deeply moving biographical films about world-famous, tormented women. Maria is another visually stunning narrative that, thanks to a phenomenal performance by Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, brings to life the complexity and tragic beauty of “La Callas.”
