Angelina Jolie goes deep on opera for acclaimed director Pablo Larraín's biopic 'Maria,' the final film in his trilogy on iconic 20th century women.
beat sheet
  • Jolie initially feared taking on the role of opera legend Maria Callas, but director Larraín's guidance and belief in her abilities pushed her to excel, with the actress singing most of the opera pieces live on set.
  • Larraín's approach of creating a deeply empathetic, yet not strictly biographical, portrayal of his subjects has earned praise from past collaborators like Natalie Portman, who call his gaze 'kind and curious' in depicting the female experience.
