And speaking about interviews, there are also many interviews with Madame Callas herself that add a great deal of charm and made it easy to see for me why she is so appreciated and desired until today. These visitors from her concert in the United States could not be any more right in saying she is a definite contender for greatest voice of the 20th century. It is of course inevitable that the film is packed with her singing and that is maybe the best thing about it all. The subject is of course the late famous opera singer Maria Callas and we find out about career and private life in here. "Maria by Callas" is the title of Tom Volf's first directorial effort and it's a pretty impressive work for a rookie these 110 minutes we got here.
