The film Maria, which was highly appreciated by the audience, was applauded for 8 minutes during its world premiere at the Sala Grande Theater as part of the Venice Film Festival. After the screening of the film directed by Pablo Larrain, while the audience stood up and applauded, Jolie could not hold back her tears.

TRAINED IN OPERA FOR 7 MONTHS FOR THE FILM

Speaking at the press conference at the Venice Film Festival, Angelina Jolie stated that she took opera singing lessons for "almost 7 months" for her role. Jolie said, "Everyone here knows, I was very nervous. I trained for almost 7 months because when you work with Pablo, you can't do anything half-heartedly. He demands that you work in the best way and really learn and work," she expressed.

PLOT OF THE FILM MARIA

Written by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, Maria tells the story of Callas's life in the 1970s. The biographical drama by Chilean filmmaker Larraín focuses on the Greek-American soprano's retreat to Paris after her glamorous yet tumultuous life in the public eye. It is highly anticipated that Maria will put the 49-year-old Jolie in the Oscar race for Best Actress for the first time in 15 years.
