In 1977, Maria Callas (Fanny Ardant), the most famous diva in the world, lives confined in her Paris apartment. Larry Kelly (Jeremy Irons), a producer friend, offers her to sing "Carmen" in a televised concert. Unfortunately, Maria's voice, tired and worn by years and strain, is not what it used to be. Larry knows the way around the problem: a technical stratagem will create the illusion. Maria, disregarding her friend Sarah Keller's (Dame Joan Plowright's) warning, agrees with the idea and the show is a tremendous success. With that in mind, Larry now considers a new version of "Tosca". But this time, Maria objects to the subterfuge. Her decision will mark the beginning of the end for the legendary singer.
Leave your thoughts about Callas Forever.
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussZeffirelli's 'Carmen' looks more PBS than MGM, and this relative poverty helps explain why this sincere but bloodless film has taken three years to limp into theaters. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfThe contact high from the performances is exhilarating, but there too many inconsistencies here to concentrate on the portrait Zeffirelli is attempting to paint. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe result is not only one of Zeffirelli's sumptuous productions but also a film that celebrates the sacredness of artistic integrity that to Zeffirelli Callas embodied fully. |
| Dallas Morning NewsOlin ChismFor Callas fans, this is a winner. For others, it should at least be interesting. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe movie is rich with music and more than a few moments of painful exaltation. |
| OregonianMarc MohanJustifies its dismissal of factual truth in favor of a deeper sort. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedYou will go away devastated and raving about the great French actress Fanny Ardant as Callas. It's a titanic performance that redefines the term 'tour de force.' |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeSo appealing and ingratiating that it's hard not to be taken in by Zeffirelli's fantasy. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldHer (Ardant's) diva-in-decline is funny, lightly campy and dead-on in the way it encapsulates the sadness at the end of a selfish life lived only for art. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid Noh[Zeffirelli] had a real chance to delve into the creative process of a genius here, but has only managed to come up with the kind of bottom-feeding, lowbrow tabloid fodder that any opera-phobic hack might produce. |
