Meryl Streep wins the 20th (!) Oscar nomination for the role of the discordant soprano singer, Florence Foster Jenkins, in a feelgood biographical comedy by the film director of “High Fidelity”, “The Queen” and “Dangerous Liaisons”. Starring with her, Hugh Grant.

Synopsis

The cosmic New Yorker Florence Foster Jenkins thinks she's the nightingale of the opera, when in fact she cannot sing at all. Her husband and agent, St. Claire Bayfield, a fallen English aristocrat and actor, sustains this illusion. When Florence decides to give a concert to the legendary Carnegie Hall in 1944, St. Claire realizes that he has to face the greatest challenge of his life.
