Friday 20th June: MARIA [12A] 122 mins – Drama/Biography
Paris, September 1977. Riddled with depression and sadness, legendary opera diva Maria Callas now leads a reclusive life away from the public eye. Despite her failing voice, the famed American-Greek soprano still harbours hopes of making a grand comeback.
But Maria has already caught the unwanted attention of persistent paparazzi eager to witness her downfall. As vivid flashbacks reveal moments from her glamorous yet tumultuous career, a tragic narrative unfolds over the last seven days of the influential singer's life - a story filled with dreams, hardship, passion, and disappointment.
Why see it? Angelina Jolie dazzles as the opera diva in her finest performance in a decade.
