Callas Forever

One of the joys of subscribing to Netflix is the ease with which one can see old films. Last night we watched "Callas Forever", which as you might suspect, is about Maria Callas. I do not know how this little gem of a film flew under our radar screen. How did we miss it? I can't say that I was working too hard since it came out in 2002 after I retired. Maybe the critics reviewed it when we were in Antarctica. Who knows?

I will say nothing about who is in it or about the story. Seeing it without any preconceptions was part of the fun. Let's just say that it is a very enjoyable little film that you definitely should see if you like opera. Even if you don't like Maria Callas very much you will like it. (But, if you don't like opera, forget it.)

There are few movies made any more that are not aimed at illiterate teenagers. This is one of the few.
