Callas Forever
It took director Franco Zeffirelli a quarter of a century to figure out how best to pay homage on screen to his longtime friend and colleague, opera legend Maria Callas, who died at 53 in 1977...resulting in this glorious, not-to-be-missed wonderful offering.... Managing Maria Callas's (Fanny Ardant) late career has left Larry Kelly (Jeremy Irons) scorched by the star's brilliant fire. Visiting her palatial Paris apartment, Kelly is shocked to find a broken and reclusive Callas, humiliated by the deterioration of her voice. Determined to re-ignite her passion and restore her legacy, he convinces her to take on an important project: a film of the opera "Carmen", in which she will lip-sync her own, beautiful recording of many years previous.
