Maria (2024)

Pablo Larraín directs Angelina Jolie, Pierfrancesco Favino and Alba Rohrwacher in this biopic of opera singer Maria Callas anchored around the last week of her life.

Handsome but dull. Not my stick of butter in too many ways. I only have a rudimentary understanding of opera and Callas’ backstory but this is fantastical and incoherent in equal measures. Everyone talks in stilted sound bites, for example. Meh.
