News outlets are buzzing about Angelina Jolie following the eight-minute standing ovation her film, titled Maria, garnered at the Venice Film Festival, which paid tribute to renowned opera singer Maria Callas.

The actress has recently shared insights about the film’s powerful emotional resonance and disclosed that its focus will be on the challenging periods in the life of the opera singer, encompassing both personal struggles and professional setbacks.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie expressed that towards the end of her life, she encountered periods of both intense joy and deep sorrow. Her greatest moments of happiness were when she genuinely felt a strong connection with others, but there were also times when she struggled to connect, which left her feeling shattered and disheartened.

The biopic serves as a creative and insightful depiction of the challenging personal life experiences of the renowned opera singer, showcasing her complicated relationships and professional struggles. As suggested in the summary, the central character, who lived from the 1920s to the 1970s, sacrificed both her voice and her life while pursuing her passion.

As a lifestyle expert, I began my presentation in Toronto by warmly greeting the audience and sharing a poignant moment. “The extraordinary talent, Maria Callas, left us unceremoniously during challenging periods of her life. If only she could be here now, to witness your dedication to learning about her journey, remembering her melodies, and connecting with others who share a deep love for art.

Prior to its global debut at the Venice Film Festival on August 29, Maria by Larrain was purchased by Netflix. The exact release date on their streaming service is yet to be determined, following its screenings at the Venice Lido and Toronto.

Angelina Jolie is anticipated to portray Callas in a manner that is sincere and intensely emotional. Her selection for this role is considered daring due to her track record of tackling demanding parts, and she has made it clear that she is dedicated to making the character feel genuine.

The movie additionally features Alba Rohrwacher, Haluk Bilginer, Pierfrancesco Favino, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Valeria Golino in its cast. Steven Knight (known for Spencer, Peaky Blinders, and Eastern Promises) was the screenwriter.
