In Pablo Larraín's biographical drama "Maria," opera diva Maria Callas shares with her doctor, "My life is opera," which also describes the film's own narrative depth and emotion.
Cinematographer Ed Lachman noted that the film itself becomes an opera, with themes of betrayal, unrequited love, and loss mirroring Callas' tumultuous existence and emotional struggles.
Hair designer Adruitha Lee initially thought three wigs would suffice, but ended up using twelve to depict both Callas's final weeks and her iconic performances throughout her career.
The film transcends typical storytelling; Jolie's performance combined with a thoughtful creative team delves deeply into Callas's complex relationships and her passionate love for opera.
