EMILIA PEREZ

2024 | Dir Jacques Audiard | 130m | France

Directed by Jacques Audiard, Emilia Perez blends thrilling storytelling with stunning musical performances, offering a fresh and daring cinematic experience. This bold musical drama tells the story of Juan “Manitas” Del Monte, a notorious Mexican cartel leader, who undergoes gender reassignment surgery to create a new identity – Emilia Perez. Set to vibrant music, the film explores themes of identity, reinvention, and redemption. Karla Sofía Gascón plays the titular Emilia Perez, while Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez add star power to the excellent cast.

Master French auteur Jacques Audiard’s Cannes prize winner is an incredibly entertaining and unexpectedly moving Mexico-set musical odyssey.
