Jury Award and acting award at the Cannes festival for the female quartet: Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz.
A phenomenally written melodrama, a musical gangster film, and a touching queer story all in one? Yes! This could only be achieved by one of the greatest stylists of contemporary cinema, Jacques Audiard (“A Prophet,” “Paris, 13th District”). The underrated lawyer Rita receives an offer she can't refuse from the drug baron, Manitas. She has to organize the formalities related to a gender change for him. She accepts the offer and carries everything out perfectly. After a while, she will meet the titular character. Emilia Pérez is the absolute opposite of Manitas – a sensitive, charismatic philanthropist fighting for a violence-free Mexico. But can the bloody past be erased? “Emilia Pérez” is a crazy fairy tale about the source of freedom, the beauty of transformation, and women's solidarity. Audiard combines wild, Latin dance with a touching story of love and acceptance.
