Chilean director Pablo Larraín concludes his thematic trilogy of 20th century biopics of famous women – after ‘Jackie’ and ‘Spencer’ – with this soft, restrained drama

At an intimate party in Soho recently, the designer Erdem Moralıoğlu introduced a screening of Maria (the Pablo Larraín-directed biopic centred around the last days of Maria Callas’s tumultuous life starring Angelina Jolie).

Angelina Jolie discussed Hollywood challenges and balancing artistry at the 36th Palm Springs Film Festival on Jan 3. Speaking with Variety’s Clayton Davis, the Oscar-winning actress described Hollywood as “sometimes not a healthy business” and emphasized the importance of living a full life beyond one’s career.

Angelina Jolie steps into the shoes of opera legend Maria Callas in the new biopic Maria, directed by Pablo Larraín. The first trailer reveals Jolie’s emotional portrayal, showcasing her transformation into the famous soprano.

Pablo Larraín’s newest film, Maria, explores the final days of the Opera Singer Maria Callas and how her life deteriorated to an empty shell of her illustrious career.

As Bono once commented about Luciano Pavarotti, “the opera follows him off stage”. Legendary soprano Maria Callas would have known exactly what he meant, and she herself said “an opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down.

Maria” marks the third installment, after “Jackie” and “Spencer,” in director Pablo Larraín’s pseudo-trilogy of historical biopics.

"She's the jewel, and I had to create the jewelry box." The "jewel" for "Maria" production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas was Angelina Jolie who embodies the famed opera soprano Maria Callas in "Maria," now streaming on Netflix.
