Famed opera singer Maria Callas retreats to Paris in the 1970s after a glamorous yet tumultuous life in the public eye.

A year ago, the streamer dangled Oscar bait with Bradley Cooper as Maestro Leonard Bernstein. The composer-conductor once described famed opera soprano Maria Callas as “the Bible of opera,” and the diva now gets her turn in the spotlight in a melancholy biopic starring Angelina Jolie (nominated this week for a Golden Globe) as Callas. The film, directed by Pablo Larraín (Jackie, Spencer), depicts Callas in her final days, reflecting on her turbulent life and devotion to music as she attempts to regain her voice. Hallucinatory segments involving an eager young TV interviewer (Kodi Smit-McPhee) detract from the poignance of Jolie’s refined work, which is the best reason to watch.
