Acclaimed director Pablo Larrain (Spencer, Jackie) once again turns his focus to the fame and misfortune of a woman in the spotlight.

Paris, 1977. Her health in decline, opera star Maria Callas recounts pivotal moments from her life and career to a television journalist. As the two wander the city, flashbacks detail Calla’s legendary stage performances, her harsh upbringing in wartime Greece, and her turbulent affair with the shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Starring Angelina Jolie in a comeback tour-de-force central performance, Maria is an account of the final days of the world’s greatest opera singer.

Welcome to America.

Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Tóth (Adrien Brody) arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Felicity Jones) after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce) recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost.

A staggering epic, boldly captured in VistaVision. The Brutalist screens with a 15 minute intermission.
