Tom Volf / FR, 2017 / 113 min.

The legendary prima donna Maria Callas died forty years ago in her Paris apartment, fragile and alone. Public curiosity about the woman behind the myth did not end with the death of the capricious diva. Fashion photographer Tom Volf spoke at length with Callas’s friends – including opera conductor Georges Prêtre and her closest friend Nadia Stancioff – and collected unknown photographs, letters, home movies and behind-the-scenes shots for his documentary on Callas.
