Aristotle Onassis, longtime companion of Maria Callas, later married former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy
Synopsis
Maria Callas, the world's greatest opera singer, lives the last days of her life in 1970s Paris, as she confronts her identity and life.. Angelina Jolie and director Pablo Larraín discuss how they connected to the heartbreaking true story of the world-renowned opera singer Maria Callas..
I’m in the mood for adulation
Kennedy was the subject of an earlier Pablo Larraín biopic, 2016's "Jackie", starring Natalie Portman in the titular role.. Maria Callas: Book me a table at a café where the waiters know who I am.
Maria is a solid musical bio pic

It's a beautifully shot and directed movie
A great lead performance from Angelina Jolie holds this movie together pretty well and I admire how much she put into this role, especially the opera singing. The plot is a little messy and the pacing is a tad off but I still think the movie is purely entertaining enough to enjoy and it is also educational about this time period and opera in general.
I love the editing and the black and white shots are gorgeous
I think this is a solid film from Pablo Larrain with a potential Oscar winning performance from Angelina Jolie.. No need to waste time endlessly scrolling — here's the entire lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
