Maria - Oscar Sunday

Nominated for one Oscar: Best Cinematography. The life story of the world's greatest opera singer Maria Callas during her last days in Paris in the 1970s. Maria tells the story of the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. In an intimate portrait of the last days of this iconic diva's life, we see her struggle with apparitions, her mental state, the fear of losing her voice and the memories of her youth and loved ones. Supported by servants, friends and her beautiful music, Callas wanders through the rooms of her apartment and the streets of Paris in the 1970s, and through her struggle with the challenges of fame, love and the quest for artistic perfection, the film reveals the vulnerable woman behind the icon. After Jackie and Spencer, Pablo Larraín creates the last part in his trilogy of sensitive, moving biographical films about world-famous, tormented women. Maria is once again a compelling and visually rich story that, thanks to the unparalleled performance of Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, brings to life the complexity and tragic beauty behind the figure of “La Callas.”
