Emilia Pérez

From renegade auteur Jacques Audiard (Dheepan, Rust and Bone) comes this audacious fever dream that defies genres and expectations. Through liberating song and dance and bold visuals, this Mexican odyssey follows the journey of four remarkable women, each pursuing their own kind of 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. Written and directed by Audiard (Rust and Bone, A Prophet), the double Cannes-winning film also stars Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, and Édgar Ramírez.
