As a cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of cinema, I eagerly anticipate the release of Pablo Larraín’s psychological drama, “Maria.” Having followed Angelina Jolie’s illustrious career since her breakthrough role in “Girl, Interrupted,” it is a delight to see her return to form as the legendary opera singer Maria Callas.
The release schedule for Pablo Larraín’s psychological drama titled “Maria,” starring Angelina Jolie as the legendary opera singer Maria Callas, has been made public. Initially premiered at the Venice Film Festival, competing for the Golden Lion, it will have a brief two-week theatrical run starting from November 27th. Following this, the movie will be available on a streaming service on December 11th, as reported by Variety. The film delves into the later life of Maria Callas, exploring her struggles and triumphs amidst her tumultuous life, her retreat to Paris in the 1970s, and her recollections of relationships, the pressures of fame, and grappling with her identity and legacy.
At the Venice Film Festival, Maria’s debut performance took place at the grand Sala Grande Theatre and was greeted with an extended standing ovation that lasted for eight minutes, leaving Angelina Jolie noticeably touched. As of now, the movie has garnered a 75% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 44 critical reviews.
As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but be excited about the rave reviews pouring in for Angelina Jolie’s captivating portrayal of Maria Callas in the upcoming film, “Maria.” Her performance encapsulates Callas’s fervor, fragility, and indomitable spirit, leaving me spellbound. The stellar ensemble cast includes Valeria Golino as Yakinthi Callas, Callas’s sister, alongside Haluk Bilginer, Alba Rohrwacher, Pierfrancesco Favino, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
Maria Is Already Poised To Be A Crowd-Puller… And An Award-Puller
Maria has been getting extremely favorable reviews from critics so far, and this positive trend is expected to continue when viewers flock to see it on the big screen or delve into the grandeur of the 1970s in their own homes. Given that biopics often resonate with award committees, Maria appears set for a nomination at the Oscars as well. The film’s deep exploration of Callas’s life and its exceptional production quality make it a formidable contender.
After the less-than-favorable reception of her movie “Eternals” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Angelina Jolie is back on the big screen with her portrayal of Maria Callas. However, it’s important to note that Jolie has a history of being recognized by the Academy Awards – she was nominated for Best Actress for “Changeling” (2008) and won Best Supporting Actress for “Girl, Interrupted”. Her latest performance in “Maria” is receiving rave reviews, showcasing her talent for delving deep into intricate characters.
In simple terms, everyone on Maria’s team – from the director down to the production crew – deserves recognition when it comes to Academy Awards consideration. Previous films by Larraín, such as Jackie and Spencer, have received Oscar nominations for their lead actresses. Furthermore, two-time Oscar-nominated makeup artist Arjen Tuiten turned Jolie into Callas. This attention to detail in Larraín’s work is generating early buzz for the movie and positioning Maria as a strong contender for future Oscars.
