At the Oscars ceremony earlier this year, Emma Stone Just seven years after winning her first Academy Award for Best Actress, she won her second Academy Award for Best Actress. You might think winning multiple Oscars is extremely rare, but you’d be wrong. The stone became No. 45 The performer has been awarded more than one.
Why am I bringing this up? Because if anyone thinks so Angelina Jolie Can’t win the Oscar for Best Actress at the next Academy Awards because she’s already won it once before – in a different category, mind you, Best Supporting Actress, because girl, disturbedit’s been a full 25 years since it came out – so I have news for you: think again.
Jolie has certainly proven herself as the legendary but troubled opera singer with a bold, tour de force performance. Maria Callas exist MariaChilean filmmaker’s last film Pablo LarraínAn unofficial trilogy about remarkable women who died young in the 20th century (the first two are from 2016) Jackie and 2021 spencer), which made its North American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on Saturday afternoon, a day after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
First, let’s address the obvious: Callas has one of the greatest voices of all time. Jolie is playing her. How could they possibly portray Jolie, who as far as I know has never sung much before – unlike the actress who plays Callas on stage master classinclude Patty LuPone and Zoe Caldwell —Sounds like “La Divina”? Apparently, the answer is that Julie spent months researching did Playing the music we heard in the film, it was then digitally mixed with Callas’ own voice.
Whatever they did, the effect was as one could hope for, because while it was known that Jolie couldn’t sing like Callas, there was no on-screen evidence of this – good luck finding any of her mouth movements to match the sound Examples of discrepancies. If anything, this movie is over. On the contrary, this is just the beginning.
Jolie stars as Callas – once one of the most famous women in the world, constantly hounded by the media, something Jolie understands – playing a woman in her early fifties who is haunted by the sound of her own voice. When it was stronger, she couldn’t even hear the recording of it. Nowadays, she only really leaves her exquisite Paris apartment when she needs the adoration of her fans. Most of the time, despite the pleas of her faithful housekeeper (Pierfrancesco Favinowho looks like Alfred Molina) and maid (Alba Rohrwacherwho looks like Andrea Riseborough), she pops up a a lot of A number of drugs take a toll on her physical and mental health, and one in particular triggers the illusion that she’s being interviewed about her life by a reporter who’s not really there (dog power oscar nominee Kody Smit-McPhee). Through this somewhat shameless reveal, we learn about the highs and lows of her roller-coaster life.
One can argue over issues such as the film’s pacing, which is a bit meandering at times. But one can’t question Jolie’s performance or that of the lesser-known actors surrounding her, including Valeria Golinowho plays her sister Yakindi Karasand Haruk Birkinawho plays her lover Aristotle Onassisboth made the most of their brief screen time.
As for Academy Award recognition, you could give Jolie a Best Actress nomination, which would follow in Jolie’s footsteps. Natalie Portmanin the name of Jackie and Christine Stewartin the name of spencer. Jackie Also nominated for Best Costume Design and Original Score. Maria No original soundtrack, but it does have stunning costumes and jewelry Massimo Cantini Pariniso another clothing name may appear. legendary lens Ed Lachman Earlier this year, a film few had seen was nominated for Best Cinematography, countso he’ll surely be able to find another one for the film, which Netflix – which picked up U.S. distribution rights for the film earlier this week – will certainly be promoting heavily. Given the open nature of the season, we can’t rule out the possibility of Larraign getting a directing nomination or a best original screenplay nomination. Steven Knight.
