Angelina Jolie cried as she received an eight-minute standing ovation for Maria at its premiere during the 81st Venice International Film Festival on Thursday, 29 August.

The actor, 49, plays Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín's biopic about the opera singer's life.

She was seen wiping away tears as the audience at Sala Grande gave her rapturous applause for her performance.

Jolie has honoured Callas by wearing her Cartier jewellery at the festival, adorning a black dress she wore ahead of the premiere with a Panthère brooch.
