As a lifelong fan of cinematic excellence, I must say that Angelina Jolie’s performance at the Venice Film Festival this year has left me utterly spellbound. Her portrayal of Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s biopic, “Maria,” is nothing short of mesmerizing.
Last Thursday, I was utterly captivated at the Venice Film Festival when Angelina Jolie took center stage at the world premiere of Pablo Larraín’s film, “Maria,” held at Palazzo del Cinema. What a sight to behold!
As a gaming enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: “I’m talking about that gripping biopic on the legendary opera star Maria Callas, freshly added to Netflix’s lineup and headlined by an Oscar-winning actress. You might find it intriguing how she stepped onto the red carpet in a way that echoed the grandeur of the stage diva – even in the sweltering Venice heat, she donned a striking accessory: a faux fur stole.”
On a sweltering day with temperatures reaching well over 80 degrees Fahrenheit, Jolie graced the surroundings outside Sala Grande in an elegant, draped asymmetrical gown designed by Tamara Ralph – one of her regular collaborators. Despite the heat, she appeared cool and composed as Jolie posed on the red carpet with her fellow stars such as Pierfrancisco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and auteur Larraín. Afterwards, she conducted two interviews with local journalists on the red carpet, followed by spending a considerable amount of time interacting with fans by greeting them, taking photos, and signing autographs along the barricade.
Upon entering the theater, Jolie along with her team, Maria, received a heartfelt standing ovation before the movie started. As the closing credits rolled in, the clapping persisted for a thrilling eight minutes straight, leaving Jolie moved to tears.
Regarding fashion, Jolie’s unexpected accessory choice wasn’t limited to her faux fur stole in the summer heat. Upon arriving in Venice, she was snapped at the airport, exuding movie star elegance, dressed for cool autumn weather in a Dior fall 2024 trench coat and leather boots.
In a more relaxed fashion, she’s been spotted at other festivals. Recently, she graced the entrance of Hotel Excelsior in a Saint Laurent V-neck gown without sleeves, crafted from flowing silk. For her appearance at Maria’s photocall and press conference, she opted for another Saint Laurent piece – a black dress complemented by a Cartier brooch. You can find images of these outfits below.
Drawing from real-life events, actress Angelina Jolie portrays the turbulent and heartbreaking tale of a renowned opera singer in her last days in 1970s Paris. This captivating script was written by Steven Knight. At a press conference held Thursday afternoon prior to the screening, Jolie made her initial comments about the project. She dedicated approximately seven months to prepare for this demanding role, which involved training with opera singers and instructors to perfect the stance, breathing, and movements of a singer of Callas’ stature. Immersing herself in opera provided “therapy I didn’t know I needed,” she shared with the press.
“She went on to explain, ‘I didn’t realize how much I kept buried inside, and it wasn’t the task at hand that was difficult, but rather the emotional journey of finding my voice, being authentic, and expressing myself freely.’ When asked about her connection with Callas, Jolie said, somewhat unexpectedly, ‘I resonate most with the tender side of her, the part that didn’t have space in the world to be as gentle as she really was – as emotionally exposed as she truly was. I identify more with her vulnerability than anything else.'”
