Maria Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, lives out her final days in 1970s Paris as she struggles with her identity and her life. Angelina Jolie and director Pablo Laraín discuss how they connected with the heartbreakingly real, world-renowned opera singer Maria Callas. The third and final film from Pablo Laraín, “Lady in Heels” is a trilogy of female-led biopics, following Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021). Maria Callas: Book me a table at a café where the waiters know who I am. I’m in the mood to gloat.. Up Close: Why Do We Need a Venice Film Festival? (2024).

I’m sure this film was made with a lot of care and love, BUT what it lacked most in my opinion was the Breathing. Opera singers learn to control their breath in order to enslave us. And I agree with other less favorable reviews that the opening scene was definitely a bad example of lip-syncing, especially since I didn’t see Ms. Jolie breathe! Of course, La Calla led a glamorous life, but I felt the focus was more diverted. to this film clip. This is a film that stopped me from watching it to the end and for which I apologize. And I had high hopes for these two iconic ladies.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and broadcast premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more information!
