Maria Callas: Book me a table in a café where the waiters know who I am

Line of Events

Maria Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, is living out the final days of her life in 1970s Paris as she confronts her identity and her life. Angelina Jolie and director Pablo Larraín discuss how they came to be part of the moving true story of world-renowned opera singer Maria Callas. Pablo Larraín’s third and final film, the so-called “Lady in Heels,” a trilogy of female-led biopics following Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021).

Opera singers learn to control their breathing to engage ours

I’m sure this film was made with a lot of care and love, BUT what was most lacking in my opinion was BREATHING. And I agree with the other less favorable reviews that the opening scene was a terrible example of lip syncing, especially since I couldn’t see Ms. Jolie breathing!

I also had high hopes for these two iconic women

Sure, La Callas lived a charmed life, but I felt like the focus was more on the visuals in this film. This is the film that made me stop watching until the end and I regret it. No need to waste time scrolling endlessly – here are a bunch of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
