Angelina Jolie Shines in New Biopic 'Maria' as Opera Legend Maria Callas

Pablo Larraín’s film 'Maria,' streaming on Netflix, explores Maria Callas' tumultuous life through the lens of Angelina Jolie's performance. Capturing themes of betrayal, love, and loss, the film employs various filming styles to convey Callas’ memories and struggles as she reflects on her past and declining voice. Despite its artistic ambition, critiques suggest the film lacks narrative depth compared to its stylistic elements. Jolie, who committed to intense vocal training, delivers a passionate performance, intertwining her voice with Callas', aiming for authenticity while facing the challenges of portraying an icon's legacy.
