Cinema: Angelina Jolie about “Maria” in the biography of Pablo Larraín

In a huge Parisian apartment, Maria Callas lost personal contact with reality. This is woolu, this is an assumption. “Dorenavant, I think I have decided that this is indeed so and that it is not,” I announce that this is the son of the majordomo. Voila, four days, no matter how long it took, now you have everything you need. Son médecin la prévient: son corps est sur le point de lâcher. Or is it the body, “la Callas” ne s’en soucie guère: tout ce qui la préoccupe, c’est sa voix légendaire. A prize between past and present, between souvenir and hope, la cantatrice amerait chanter une dernière, une ultime fois. Sorte d’élégie biographique, le très beau Maria relax in the menu “Epaules”, “Mais Solides”, Angelina Jolie, “imperial and piercing” in the “diva of divas”. Exclusivevité Québécoise, Le Devoir Louis in conversation.

Devuale in Venice, Maria vient clore “trilogy of the marquis of the 20th century”^And century”, realized by Pablo Larraín. I’ll find you Jackieabout Natalie Portman and Jackie Kennedy and others. Spenceror Kristen Stewart interprets Lady Di.

“La première étape pour découvrir Maria Callas a été d’apprendre à chanter, parce que le chant, c’est au Fon qui elle était,” explains Angelina Jolie lors d’une table ronde Virtelle.

The film makes a clear distinction between private and public Maria Callas; between “Maria” and “Callas”, in the Somme.

“In adolescence, when I understand who this “Maria” is, this person is super-hardworking, super-disciplined, who doesn’t know anything special, who knows himself… J’ai tâché de passer beaucoup de temps avec she, parce qu’elle est celle qu’on connaît le moins. Quant à “Callas”, the person publishes, she is presented, she is presented in a certain way as a role. What do you know what? And one more thing: c’était bel et bien elle. Plusieurs personnes se dotent d’une personnalité publishes facts, most of all: Maria is music, Maria is Callas. Then the beloved Callas, Maria était éclipsée, enters the world. »

To be authentic, Angelina Jolie apprenticed with the opera singer in September. Of course, for the major party in the cinema, for the initial registration of Maria Callas, which was used, the exceptional nature of the talent of the Cantatrix Oblige, most of all the actress wants her expressions and physiognomy to be trustworthy.

Vers la fin, accordingly, c’est Jolie qu’on understood.

Liberation singing

Or is it intensive training in the lyrical art, which is a beneficial consequence, and the actress does not attend it. Angelina Jolie with her intentions evokes “the best therapy in which she does not know kisses.”

“It’s more effective than going through an anna to talk to someone who analyzes and intellectualizes what I’ve achieved and what’s happened to me. I encourage the whole world to essay, the machine returns to communication with the body and to the voice. Oh a la retrover. »

From Jolie’s story: “Nous avons tous une voix, et il arrival que, face à des épreuves qui nous font du Mal ou nous brisent le coeur, nous nous renfermions.” We are essayons of our protector, we feel the tension in the body of the corps, emmagasinones de traumas… Sauf que, pour arrir à chanter de l’opera, il faut accéder à Tellement de Zones du Corps, Ouvrir Tellement de Zones du Corps… Ma première week of apprenticeship, I have already passed à essayer de passer-by, who chooses what I do not like the conscience in my heart; these feelings have become miniature, renfermée… J’ai compris que je devrais me Battle contre ça et transcender ça. »

Et il y avait évidemment la dimension of a mythical character, frightening. Ultimately, Angelina Jolie’s main challenge is the pluto who appears to be what is implied to be an opera singer. C’est-a-dire?

“The beauty and complexity of opera is something that simultaneously requires the highest level of technique and the highest level of movement,” explains Angelina Jolie. I don’t know of any other art form that can help expand a large area at the very moment when these two choose-la. I love you like I do. Je me souviens que, vers la fin du Tournage, je n’arrivais plus à chanter et à pleurer en même temps. Since I am pleurais, my gorge will be the referent. When emotion prevails in technique, or vice versa, je devais trouver le moyen de reharmoniser les deux. »

Comment on Angelina Jolie and this parvenu? In returning to the cell, which was temporary.

“Maria is the best teacher. Elle disait: “Treat your performance as if you were wearing a camisole de force. Study music. You are disciplined. A definite intention. Mets de Côté is all about staff and learning, research, research. Seulement à la toute fin, au tout dernier moment, ajoute tes sense et ton humanité.” So this is what I did. »

Ordinary loneliness

Through an unknown work of introspection, the film allowed Angelina Jolie to discover what she has in common with Maria Callas and what she needs to eat.

“Two bûcheuses, dures envers elles-mêmes… J’aime croire que j’aurais pu être une amie pour elle: elle en avait, mais peu. I thought that quelques autres n’auraient pas été de trop. And guess what? This is probably my Australian home. Peut-être est-ce trop privé pour le partager, but more… it’s a lonely commune. Our two-woman sommies are long gone, or we feel alone. Vous savez, parfois, vous occupez toute this place in the world, thank you for your work, for your voice or for your presence, peu importa, mais dans les faits, vous êtes these fragile people, full of emotions and feelings…”

Songeuse, Angelina concluded: “Yes, our aurions are friends. »

I filmed it Maria We’ll figure it out on November 27, then on the Mubi platform on December 11.
