Angelina Jolie, one of Hollywood's most iconic figures, returns to the big screen in a demanding role: the legendary Maria Callas. In Pablo Larraín's upcoming film "Maria", Jolie transforms into the celebrated opera diva—a woman who left an indelible mark on the world of art and captivated audiences around the globe.
In a recent interview, Jolie shared that she unexpectedly connected with Callas' profound sense of loneliness. Despite being a devoted mother to six children and constantly surrounded by people, the 49-year-old actress admitted to often feeling alone.
"I have my children I love but as an adult I’m often alone. I find myself identifying with the solitude and loneliness she has," Jolie told The Sun. This candid revelation is more than a personal reflection; it also bridges her real-life emotions with her on-screen portrayal. Callas, whose life was filled with triumph, turbulence, and passion, ultimately faced isolation in her final years—a sentiment Jolie feels she deeply understands.

Maria chronicles Callas' later years, when she withdrew to Paris, away from the public eye, reflecting on her extraordinary life and storied career. Director Pablo Larraín, renowned for his deeply emotional biopics such as "Jackie" and "Spencer", brings a sensitive and soulful approach to the opera diva's complex personality.
Jolie, an Academy Award-winning actress, delivers an impressive transformation as Callas, capturing both her external elegance and internal vulnerability. The film's trailer highlights Jolie's intensity and sensitivity in the role, positioning "Maria" as one of the most anticipated cinematic releases of the year.
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Jolie continues to make headlines for her personal life. The interview comes amid an ongoing legal battle with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, over the ownership of the Miraval estate in France. The dispute, which involves allegations of abuse and financial disagreements, underscores the challenges Jolie faces as she works to restore balance and stability in her life.
