I am attuned to flattery

in this true art
This is one of the greatest pieces of cinematography I have ever seen in my entire life. Everything comes together in this film: the power of Maria Callas (especially as a woman and as a singer), the emotion given by Angelina Jolie, the singing, the supporting cast with Pierfrancesco Favino and Alba Rohrwacher, the impressive direction and the cinematography come together.
This is not just a celebration of the artist, but of the woman and pure art
