An acclaimed director has compared Angelina Jolie's performance in Maria to Denzel Washington's turn as Malcolm X. Angelina, 49, has been at the center of a hum of Oscar buzz ever since a trailer dropped last month for her upcoming Netflix movie. Maria stars Angelina as the legendary opera singer Maria Callas during her final decline in Paris amid her failed comeback in the 1970s.Now Barry Jenkins, the director of the Oscar-winning drama Moonlight about a black gay man's coming of age, has added his voice to the choir of praise. 'The performance is so striking,' he told Angelina, in footage obtained by Indiewire. 'It’s almost like, to me, Jesse Eisenberg is Mark Zuckerberg. Denzel Washington is Malcolm X, in a certain way. And I think you are Maria Callas in the same way. In this movie, in so many moments, you are performing with your whole body.' Barry made the remarks while moderating a conversation at AFI Fest with several people involved with Maria, including Angelina and director Pablo Larrain. Spike Lee directed the 1992 biopic Malcolm X starring Denzel as the iconic black activist, with Angela Bassett as his wife Betty Shabazz. Denzel was nominated for the Oscar for best actor for his performance in the movie, though he ultimately lost to Al Pacino for Scent Of A Woman. Jesse Eisenberg also earned an Oscar nod for his turn as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in David Fincher's 2010 drama The Social Network, losing out to Colin Firth as King George VI of England in the World War II film The King's Speech.
Moonlight was released in 2016 and was showered with praise by the critics, winning multiple Academy Awards including best picture.About two weeks ago, a trailer dropped online for Angelina's upcoming Maria Callas movie, prompting an outpouring of enthusiasm from viewers. 'Holy s**t I f**king can't wait to see this movie!!! Seriously I know I'm going to be blown away by Angelina Jolie's performance as Maria. The Oscar is coming for her,' one X user predicted. A third, who admitted they hadn't even watched the trailer, joked they were already planning on 'running the Angelina Jolie Oscar campaign.' 'The Maria trailer is so beautiful. I've seen enough, give Angelina Jolie the Oscar already,' a fourth tweeted. Another X user even photoshopped a photo of Jolie beaming with joy as she held onto an Academy Award with a tweet reading: 'Manifesting: Angelina Jolie Best Actress Oscar Winner.' Maria, according to a synopsis, 'follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye.' The film aims to 'reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life.' She died in Paris in 1977 of a heart attack at age 53.

Angelina Jolie prête sa voix à Maria Callas dans le nouveau biopic de Pablo Larraí

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."
