Angelina Jolie triumphs in Venice: tears from the ovation for "Maria"

Angelina Jolie continues to conquer the world of cinema with her new film "Maria", in which she plays the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. The premiere of the film at the Venice Film Festival caused a real sensation, and the actress could not hold back tears during the eight-minute standing ovation.

Jolie's triumph in Venice

Angelina Jolie's performance as Maria Callas is already called one of the best in her career. Spectators and critics unanimously note the depth and emotionality of the performance of the role. Jolie admitted that it was a real test for her - seven months of opera and Italian language lessons under the close supervision of the team.

"I had seven months of opera lessons, great teachers and Italian lessons, and a support team that was going to help me, " the star shared.

Contrasting reviews of Pitt's premiere

In contrast to Jolie's triumph, Brad Pitt's new film "Wolves, " where he stars alongside George Clooney, received mixed reviews. The story about cleaners who cover up crimes was met with coolness by critics. Many call the tape "messy" and "unbearable comedy".

"Recently, George Clooney complained that Quentin Tarantino doesn't think he's a movie star. If he makes more movies like this, Clooney will soon prove Tarantino right, " critics note.

Results and forecasts

It remains only to wait for the wide release of both films. Given the positive reviews for "Maria", it's safe to say that the film will be a resounding success, while Brad Pitt's "Wolves" may not live up to expectations. In any case, the Venice Film Festival once again confirmed the status of Angelina Jolie as one of the greatest actresses of our time.
