“Maria” had its world premiere at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Angelina Jolie’s breathtaking performance as Maria Callas, one of the world’s most renowned Opera singers, Pablo Larraín’s gorgeous direction, Ed Lachman’s sumptuous cinematography and the detailed production design from Guy Hendrix Dyas. The Next Best Picture team was lucky enough to speak with Larraín, Lachman, and Dyas to get an insightful look into the making of the Netflix film. First up, we have Ema Sasic’s interview with director Pablo Larraín. Then we have Giovanni Lago’s interview with cinematographer Ed Lachman, and then we end with Cody Dericks’s interview with production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Netflix and is up for your consideration at this year’s Academy Awards in all eligible categories, including Best Actress (Angelina Jolie), Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup & Hairstyling and Best Production Design. Thank you, and enjoy!
