I thought that she did a good job portraying Maria Callas, with the exception of her accent. If you listen to interviews with Maria Callas from the 1970s, she basically has an American accent. But the accent didn't bother me that much. What did bother me was the fact that even though it is mentioned at least twice in the film that, "This is 1977," the director didn't make much of an effort to make it look like 1977.
All Zeffirelli had to do was look at some of the interviews and news clips of her from the 1970s to see what the hair and clothing styles looked like. Throwing in an old car here and there just didn't do it for me, especially when you can see all the modern cars and minivans in the background!!
My Phd was on Callas and your interpretation and your interviews on the film show the great actress you are. I would love to have a way to contact you ( I know this is almost impossible) to be able to show you what I did in relation to Callas Life and Art and teacher's education.

Her face is too skinny to play Maria. She looks more like Charlotte Rampling playing Maria Callas, and even at 54 Callas didn't have all the wrinkles she does, so whatever.
I think Ardant is a fabulous actress....but......Im not to satisfied with her as Callas......she did a great job......but...maybe.......i dont know but.....they could of tried harder to search for another female that could of resembled Callas more similarly in a physical manner...
che attrice pietosa.... "NON SO MOLTO DELLA SUA VITA MA UNA COSA LA SO :RICERCA DELL'ASSOLUTO..... CHE è UNA COSA CHE A ME PIAcE TANTISSIMO"!!! Se lei sapesse anche lontanamente cosa sia l'assoluto! come cavolo fanno a dare il ruolo di maria callas a gente del genere!!!!!
x nn parlare della xformance oscena che ci ha donato nel film. MARIA si starà rivoltando ovunque.
non dare la colpa alla ardant che è una bravissima attrice, quì la colpa è di zeffirelli che non è più capace di dirigere decentemente gli attori...il film infatti è un pastrocchio, confuso, lento, a tratti patetico e inconcludente....una sceneggiatura così brutta zeffirelli non la metteva in scena dai tempi del disastroso "giovane toscanini"...!
She resembled a lot but i didn't like some parts while singing, she didn't open her mouth correctly, i can tell as an opera singer

No resemblance whatsoever. Just a little make-up could have helped. Callas had very dark, pronounced and expressive eyebrows.
