  • Starring: Fanny Ardant, Jeremy Irons, Joan Plowright
  • Summary: The special relationship between Callas (Ardant) and her former manager (Irons) forms the heart of this compelling fictional imagining of the diva's swan song, written and directed by the late Callas's friend and colleague, Franco Zeffirelli, in a worthy tribute to his legendary friend.

    The result is not only one of Zeffirelli's sumptuous productions but also a film that celebrates the sacredness of artistic integrity that to Zeffirelli Callas embodied fully.

    Ardant embodies the diva's dazzling blend of glamour, hauteur, and vulnerability, and despite a faintly campy script by Martin Sherman, Zeffirelli captures the artistic imperative that drives both characters-and deepens their loneliness.

    What captures the audience's attention is Ardent's mesmerizing performance.

    An Italian-British-French-Spanish-Romanian co-production. A better argument against multinational cooperation cannot be imagined.
