I’m in the mood for adulation
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?
This is one of the greatest pieces of cinema I have seen in my entire life
(2024). Everything converges in this film: the power of Maria Callas (first as a woman and as a singer), of the emotions that Angelina Jolie gives, of the singing, of the supporting cast with Pierfrancesco Favino and Alba Rohrwacher, of a spectacular direction and cinematography converges in this true art.
It is not a simple celebration of an artist, but of a woman and of pure art
This is "The Human Film", the "Perfection".#2 MARIA by Pablo Larraín#BiennaleCinema2024 #Venezia81 #Maria #PabloLarrian.Thanks to Alberto Barbera for giving us this pearl.
