“I will sing when I am ready to sing!” Let her sing! Netflix has unveiled the full official trailer for the film Maria, the latest cinematic work from renowned Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain, continuing his series about tormented women – after Jackie and Spencer before this. This new film focuses on the beloved opera singer Maria Callas, as portrayed by the beloved actor Angelina Jolie.

Also starring Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Valeria Golino, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Haluk Bilginer. With costumes by Massimo Cantini Parrini, sets by Guy Hendrix Dyas, and Ed Lachman as DP.
