Angelina Jolie dévoile une performance vocale d'anthologie dans le nouveau trailer. "Les films sur l'opéra sont déjà rares. Avec Maria je me suis attaqué, en plus, à l'une des plus grandes voix de l'Histoire". Avec son biopic sur Maria Callas, Pablo Larraín pourrait bien signer l'un de ses films les plus ambitieux à ce jour, dans un registre sur lequel il est passé maître depuis Jackie en 2017 et Spencer en 2021.Le film explorera la vie tumultueuse et solitaire de la chanteuse mythique sous un angle mâtiné de tragédie. Et jamais très loin de la comédie musicale ? La mise en scène, qui entrecoupera des confessions de la diva dans un grand hôtel parisien des années 1970, des plus grandes apparitions de scène de sa carrière, sera donc aussi l'occasion d'une performance vocale inédite pour Angelina Jolie.L'actrice, qui n'avait pas tourné depuis son étonnante expérience Marvel en 2019 (Les Éternels) se place déjà dans le haut des pronostics pour l'Oscar de la meilleure performance. Au festival de Venise où le film était en compétition officielle, elle a raconté le long processus de 7 mois pendant lequel elle a entraîné sa voix pour le chant lyrique. "Ca a été un processus avec beaucoup d'émotion et même terrifiant. Il n'y a pas tellement de moments dans une carrière où on vous demande de donner tout ce que vous avez, et c'est le plus gros cadeau qu'on puisse vous faire, particulièrement en tant qu'artiste, qu'on vous demande de donner quelque chose que vous n'étiez même pas consciente d'avoir, et d'être surprise." Elle a ajouté en répondant à Barry Jenkins, pour un Q&A à l'American Film Festival de Los Angeles, ne toujours pas se considérer comme une chanteuse, mais s'en être "quand même sortie". Et cette immersion sans précédent pourrait bien entraîner le symptôme du rôle fantôme : "Les personnages réels vous les traînez avec vous. C'est comme si c'était ma soeur désormais, j'ai appris à la connaître très intimement. Je sourirais d'une façon toujours un peu particulière lorsque j'entendrais sa musique, tant je me sens proche d'elle, tant je la connais."

It helped heal a part of me.'The Mr. and Mrs. Smith actress said it is hard to explain all the ways the role changed and healed her.'It would be too personal to explain. But from that first day [on set] not being able to breathe and crying to singing at the top of my lungs at La Scala, Milan, those moments changed me.''Having the chance to combine my two most deep and personal passions, cinema and opera, has been a long-awaited dream,' Pablo Larraín said in a statement to Variety. 'To do this with Angelina, a supremely brave and curious artist, is a fascinating opportunity.
