More than just a comeback to acting, Angelina Jolie’s transformation into opera legend Maria Callas for Pablo Larraín’s Maria was noteworthy. It was an intensely intimate exploration of emotional excavation, courage, and vulnerability. While playing opera icon Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s “Maria,” the actor learns to be both vulnerable and resilient.
“All of us don’t realize where things land in our body over a lifetime,” Jolie said in a recent interview. “We hold things in our stomachs, our chest. We breathe differently when we’re nervous or sad. The first few weeks of preparation for this role were the hardest because my body had to open, and I had to breathe again.”
Jolie plays Callas in the movie, which mostly takes place in her Paris apartment and chronicles the soprano’s last days. After losing her voice, Callas redefines herself and faces the myth of her public character. In keeping with Larraín’s earlier movies, Jackie and Spencer, it is an intimate depiction rather than a conventional biopic. In what has been praised as one of her most captivating performances in years, Jolie portrays the grandeur and tenderness of Callas in Maria.
Jolie has stepped back from performing during the last ten years in order to concentrate on directing and parenting her six kids. Her decisions were based on common sense. “For quite a few years, I worked very little. My choices were financially smart and short,” she admitted. However, her youngest children are now 16 years old, and Jolie is returning to the public eye in a role that reflects her development as an artist.
Larraín screened Spencer to express his vision when he initially came up to her. Larraín stated, “I felt she could have that magnetism.” “Maria Callas carried the weight of her experiences, her music and her fame. Angelina carries a similar weight, embodying a life that’s been intense.”
