Angelina Jolie stars as opera legend Maria Callas in Pablo Larrain’s latest film, “Maria,” completing his unofficial biographical trilogy following “Jackie” and “Spencer.” Set in 1977, the film portrays Callas living in isolation in Paris, grappling with deteriorating health and emotional turmoil.

An unexpected offer to perform again sparks a brief return of vitality, but she is haunted by her past and dependence on medication. Larrain and screenwriter Steven Knight avoid a conventional biography, focusing on the final days of Callas’ life, with flashbacks to pivotal moments in her career. [Courtesy of Netflix © 2024]
