Feat. Fanny Ardant, Jeremy Irons, Joan Plowright

Aroview: Dir. Franco Zeffirelli pays glorious homage to his longtime friend and colleague, the late opera legend Maria Callas, and the result is not-to-be-missed by classical buffs.

Beautifully played by Fanny Ardant, Callas has become a broken and reclusive star who is humiliated by the deterioration of her voice, but her manager (Irons) becomes determined to rejuvenate her passion by convincing her to take on a film of the opera "Carmen", in which she will lip-sync to her own historic recording.
