Maria 2024 DVD9.BluRay Magnet
I’m in the mood for adulation
Tale
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.. Aristotle Onassis, longtime companion of Maria Callas, later married former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. 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. Referenced in Close-Up: Why do We Need the Venice Film Festival? (2024). Pablo Larraín's Maria is triumphant. This film was everything I wanted it to be and more, which is such a delight when I have a lot of love for this unofficial series of films that Pablo has done.
Classic, romantic, bleak, beautiful
Something about them feels so innovative and different to me. Out of the three, Maria feels the most traditional- less subversive, not as experimental. Even then, it doesn't fall into the typical tropes of any other biopic.Maria is grand and opulent, just like Spencer (and Jackie, kind of) were. However, it's even bigger than its predecessors in scope, and yet often colder, for good reason. The ambience created for the storm was absolutely stunning. The sets and costumes were gorgeous. The cinematography was just as marvelous. And of course, the music.
The orchestra soared in the theater
It was often the music that brought the most emotion out of me, and gave me the most chills. They nailed it.Angelina Jolie is, of course, the centerpiece of this film. I have to say, after Spencer, I really wanted Pablo to stick the landing with Maria as a grand finale, just because the first two were so brilliant. As soon as Angelina was announced in the titular role, I knew I was in good hands.This is instantly one of her best performances and the best performance I've seen all year. So far, she has only been recognized by the Academy for her more dramatic performances, but this one showed that she commands just as much attention through subtlety. Her character is continuously intimidating, but she never has to yell to get you to focus on every word out of her mouth. To achieve this intimidation, and to embody such an iconic diva, they needed someone who commands any room herself. Jolie could not have been a better pick.
I have no notes, truly
This is one of the best comeback performances I've seen on screen. That last sequence devastated me.To me, Jolie's performance never overshadowed the other parts of this film that we're done so masterfully. The writing was incredible- So witty and clever, and often poetic. As for direction, Pablo Larraín fires on all cylinders for this last entry in his trilogy. Everything about it was sheer perfection. So many sequences were constructed to absolutely break you in the best way possible. Not enough praise is being made for how he executed this film. At the end of the day, this trilogy of his highlights the actresses that perform in them.
I played Opera all night after, for the first time ever
With Maria though, I realize that these performances are just as much a vehicle for Larraín's brilliance as they are a showcase of the actresses' talents. The structure of this film had me on the brink of tears for nearly the entire run time.I couldn't be happier with the film as a whole, and how it concludes this trilogy through references tying the films together. As a fan, I especially appreciated the two scenes that link Maria back to Jackie. It sort of makes these bodies of work come together in a bit of an official way.So far, this is the best film I've seen all year and an instant favorite of the decade, and that is such a blessing when it& #39;s a project you've been waiting for for so long. It definitely created a newfound love and appreciation for opera that I definitely didn't have before.
