Maria
dir. Pablo Larraín · 2024
The struggle to understand one's identity and legacy is a fundamental part of the human experience.
In the twilight of her life, Maria Callas wanders the streets of Paris, haunted by memories of her past glories and the love she lost. The film immerses you in her world, where the echoes of her once-magnificent voice contrast sharply with the silence of her solitude.
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.
