EMILIA PÉREZ

FRANCE | 2024 | COLOR | DCP | 132’ | SPANISH

Outrageous, risky, electrifying, passionate, euphoric: these are just some of the words that characterize the new creation by the great Jacques Audiard, in which a lawyer is recruited by a notorious Mexican cartel baron to organize secretly his transition and then help her retire from the underworld. A film that boldly marries the musical, the violent gangster thriller, the extreme melodrama, the dizzying romance, Almodovar’s extravagance and a killer female cast (all of whom won Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival), to tell a story about the power of leaving the past behind and being reborn from the ashes. One thing is certain: “Emilia Perez” is unlike anything you've ever seen before.
