From renegade auteur Jacques Audiard comes Emilia Pérez, an audacious fever dream that defies genres and expectations. Through liberating song and dance and bold visuals, this odyssey follows the journey of four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness. The fearsome cartel leader Emilia (Karla Sofía Gascón) enlists Rita (Zoe Saldaña), an unappreciated lawyer stuck in a dead-end job, to help fake her death so that Emilia can finally live authentically as her true self.
"With Emilia Pérez, [Audiard] has made something fresh, full of vitality and affecting, held aloft by its own quietly soaring power"
The Hollywood Reporter
"The stellar acting and assorted songs boost much of the familiar elements in "Emilia Pérez,” creating something inventively original and never, ever bland"
USA Today
"There are no rules. You can make a musical about absolutely anything.
However, a Spanish-language musical directed by a Frenchman, a gender reassignment story made by a straight guy, and set in the milieu of Mexican drug cartels has got the alarm bells firing off all at once. But somehow, Jacques Audiard has totally pulled it off....Emilia Pérez is a hip-swaggering, trigger-clicking, scalpel-wielding work of weird brilliance. And to boot, it comes with a hearty message about loving yourself and living your own true path"
