I’m in the mood for adulation

This movie came as a pleasant surprise to meIt is not only the great,studied performance by Jolie,an actress that hadn't really convinced me of her ability to act up to now

All in proper dosesA fine two hours spent getting in touch with Marianot the Callas!!!
Nevertheless,in this movie,all the self-admiring,borderline narcissistic traits are absent.Jolie,immerses herself in Maria's fragile, overall declining character and produces a more than convincing portrait worth accolades.The representation of the era is quite meticulous too.The really pleasant surprises are the directorial approach and the screenplay.Focusing on her last week before dying it has a balanced approach to her memories through few flashbacks,her past and current relations,her adoration of music and opera,her failing health,her feeble attempts for a comeback,her warped perception of reality through the use of a slew of barbiturates,her nostalgia,her need for adulation and love.
