Maria

Directed by Pablo Larraín
Italy, Germany, United States, Chile
2024
123 mins

Maria tells the tumultuous, beautiful, and tragic story of the life of the world’s greatest female opera singer, relived and reimagined during her final days in 1970s Paris.

Angelina Jolie shines in the most talked-about performance of the season, a glorious portrait of Maria Callas directed by Miami Film Festival alumni Pablo Larraín, famous for the biopics No, Neruda, Jackie, and Spencer. Angelina Jolie is widely seen to have secured her latest Oscar nomination (she is a Supporting Actress winner for Girl, Interrupted).

Maria is the second Larraín film written by Steven Knight following their work together on Spencer. Knight was nominated for an Academy Award for Original Screenplay for his work on Dirty Pretty Things and is the creator of Peaky Blinders.
