Filmmaker Larraín explores life of another famous woman with a tragic narrative
For Angelina Jolie, portraying the famed opera singer Maria Callas meant more to her than she can put into words.
Larraín, a Venice regular, continues to explore the lives of very famous women with tragic narratives attached to them. In 2016, he came to the festival with his Jackie Kennedy portrait, “Jackie,” starring Natalie Portman as the first lady in the aftermath of her husband’s assassination. In 2021 he returned with Kristen Stewart playing Princess Diana as she considered divorce over the Christmas holiday in “Spencer.” Both films earned their leads best actress Oscar nominations.
Jolie made a grand entrance on the docks of the Hotel Excelsior, on the Lido, posing for photographers in a drapey brown dress with hair long and loose.“I didn’t live then. I guess hard in different ways, easy in different ways,” Jolie said. “She was celebrated as one of the most wonderful artists and she also had food thrown at her and insulted and lied about. So I don’t know. She must have felt… she must have felt very alone.
