Music, history, great emotions. 70s Paris, silk scarves, incredible settings, stunning outfits.

Marian, which received a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, is directed by Pablo Larraín ( Jackie, Spencer ) , a master of iconic, elegant and tragic biographies of women . One of the most admired opera singers of all time, Maria Callas, the queen of the stage who lived a turbulent life, passed away at the age of just 53, amidst luxury, but alone.

The drama stars Angelina Jolie , who is a best actress Oscar contender, making a spectacular return to the big screen. The visually beautiful film was shot by two-time Oscar nominee Ed Lachman.

Rotten tomatoes critics' consensus:

Angelina Jolie unveils new highs within her emotional register in Pablo Larraín's Maria, keeping this tragic biopic compelling even when its theatrics go off-key.
