This week on The Wandering Screen, I’m diving into Netflix’s Maria, directed by Pablo Larraín.
The film concludes his trilogy of psychological dramas about iconic 20th-century women. Starring Angelina Jolie as the legendary opera singer Maria Callas, the film focuses on the final days of her life in 1977, exploring her struggle with the loss of her voice and her attempt at a comeback.
In the latest episode, I discuss Jolie’s captivating performance, cinematographer Ed Lachman’s visual achievement, and where the film misses the mark.
