Angelina Jolie shines as legendary opera singer Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s (Spencer) empathetic reimagining of her final days in 1970s Paris.

In poor health, Callas (Jolie) wanders around a picturesque Paris as she recounts to an adoring journalist the highs of her career and litany of past loves.

Jolie's performance captures the myriad layers and masks of this legendary singer’s personality, from pithy to heartbreakingly vulnerable, while showing flashes of the personality that saw her idolised as an opera star.

Featuring a stellar cast that includes Valeria Golino, Pierfrancesco Favino and Alba Rohrwacher, Maria is a stunning addition to Larraín’s portrait of iconic women subjected to an alarming degree of scrutiny, while the world looked on.
