Maria" is the final part of Pablo Larraín's trilogy about charismatic and very unhappy women caught at the moment of the greatest crisis in their lives.
In the case of Callas, the director decides not to play cat and mouse with the viewer and immediately reveals his cards. In the first shots, the camera slowly zooms in on a beautiful hall where people are thoughtfully walking, in the center a sheet peeks out from behind a chair: Callas died on September 16, 1977 in Paris from a heart attack.
However, despite all of Jolie's efforts, Maria Callas in her performance comes off as empty and flat, as if we knew all of the heroine's sorrows and joys in advance. Ultimately, Callas, as the director himself put it, became the sum of all the tragedies she played, and somewhere behind these images, her real life was hidden, which she ultimately could not cope with. A rather sad, albeit realistic, conclusion to the trilogy. 0 reply
