Sensibly scaled portrait of the Greek soprano, captured well past her prime, when she was involved in a project of dubious artistic integrity, lip-syncing on film to an earlier recording of Carmen. Fanny Ardant, as dark and dramatic-looking as the real diva, conveys the appropriate amount of passion -- which is to say, plenty. This would seem to be one of the more "personal" works of Franco Zeffirelli, a past collaborator with Callas, though he himself conveys little passion. Jeremy Irons, Joan Plowright.
