"Fiction. Drame. En 1977, Maria Callas, la plus grande star lyrique que le monde ait jamais connue, vit recluse dans son appartement parisien. Bien que sa voix ne soit plus celle de ses belles années, un ami producteur, Larry Kelly, lui propose d'interpréter Carmen dans un film, en synchronisant, grâce aux nouvelles technologies, sa voix lorsqu'elle était plus jeune aux images actuelles. Tout d'abord hésitante, elle accepte finalement le projet, avec le soutien de Sarah, son amie journaliste. Carmen tourné, Larry essaie de convaincre Maria de se prêter de nouveau à cet exercice avec Tosca. Mais, ne supportant plus d'avoir recours à ce stratagème, elle exige cette fois-ci de chanter avec sa voix d'aujourd'hui. Les associés de Larry refusent [Allocine.fr]. Avec Fanny Ardant, Jeremy Irons, Joan Plowright."

"Un gruppo rock arriva a Parigi e viene accolto da una folla esultante di fan, giornalisti e fotografi. La band è accompagnata dal manager, un inglese sulla cinquantina di nome Larry Kelly che in passato ha organizzato molte tourneè di Maria Callas. Larry tenta di chiamare la celebre cantante lirica, ma non riceve risposta.

"The partially fictionalized film is set in 1977, the year in which Callas died, and centers on the making of a movie of Georges Bizet's Carmen. The diva, whose now-ragged voice is well past its prime, is persuaded to star in it by longtime friend and former manager Larry Kelly, who abandoned classical music to become a rock impresario. He insists by lip-synching to her old recording she will recapture her lost youth and leave behind a priceless legacy for her admirers, and his theory is supported by Callas confidante and journalist Sarah Keller. Other characters include Michael, a handsome young painter of limited talent and [an] ardent Callas fan with whom Larry is infatuated; Marco, the tenor who plays Don José in Carmen and flirts with his aging co-star, who responds to his advances; and Bruna, the housekeeper in Callas' Paris apartment. Callas' passion for music and faith in herself are restored by the finished film. She refuses to lip-synch more filmed operas but agrees to star in a screen adaptation of Tosca if it is filmed live, using her own voice. When the financial backers walk out and the contract is canceled, she demands that Larry destroy Carmen, arguing its release would be contrary to her legacy of honest performances, even those she delivered on really awful nights when her fans wanted to close their ears and hide their eyes with embarrassment and disappointment"--Wikipedia, as viewed on July 24, 2008."@en
