EMILIA PÉREZ

About the Film

Comedy, Crime, Musical | 133 MIN | France, Belgium

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. Written and directed by Audiard (Rust and Bone, A Prophet), the double Cannes-winning film also stars Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, and Edgar Ramírez.

Two years in the making. The film features the legendary Glen Plake and his prediction two years before the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics that Jonny Moseley would win the gold medal. He was spot on.
