Angelina Jolie and director Pablo Larraín discuss their collaboration on the upcoming biopic about opera legend Maria Callas. The film, part of Larraín's trilogy focusing on impactful women of the 20th century, delves into the life and mystique surrounding the renowned singer.
The final instalment of Pablo Larraín's trilogy highlighting impactful women in the 20th century is almost here. The story of Maria Callas is a tragic yet beautiful tale. Maria was once described as one of the greatest opera singers of all time, but her life was clouded by so much mystery.
I had a moment where I had to pause and make because it’s quite a – I had to feel like I could do it. I never want to take on something I don’t think I can do and this one scared me. But I started to watch, and I would encourage you to do it, watch some of her interviews especially the later ones in her life. Read some of the reviews of her last concert, they’re cruel. They’re really cruel.
What was interesting to me was that two of my sons worked on the film. They’d worked on many things with me: they’ve seen me do many things and they know I’m an artist, but I realised it was the first time I had a very emotional scene and they came in a little worried. I realised that there are things you don’t show your children, there’s a part of your pain and vulnerability that you don’t let all out in front of your children.
I’m sure it probably brought you closer together – you’ve protected them from seeing certain parts of yourself, but now they’re actually seeing the whole you.Exactly, and they’re older now, so in a way they would then sometimes start to come in and sometimes give me a hug – they also realised like we all do with people we love, that you can see the person you love as they fully are and you can help them, you can love them, you can be their friend. It was nice.
