One of the hottest titles of the year, an Oscar favorite and a hit at the last Cannes festival, where "Emilia Pérez" left with the Jury Prize and the Best Actress Award, awarded - exceptionally - to the entire four-person female cast of the film (Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascón, Adriana Paz). The new film by Jacques Audiard ("Paris, 13th Arrondissement", "A Prophet") is a captivating spectacle set in Mexico that constantly transforms: from a thriller to a classic melodrama, from a musical to an emotional story in the spirit of Almodovar. Because the fearless and dancing "Emilia Pérez" is a story about freedom from all conventions and about the spectacular transformation that the world needs today. The change begins with a lawyer, Rita (Zoe Saldaña), who is disappointed with the law that protects the strongest – ruthless, rich men. But one day Rita will receive a surprising offer from one of them: to be a companion on the path to redemption. On this risky journey, she will meet three women ready for anything, who in a violent macho society want to listen to their hearts. It is time to transform revenge into redress, contempt into compassion, and fear into trust. "Emilia Pérez" convinces that it is time for the world to stop being black and white. Audiard's energetic, fairy-tale and hypnotic film is an acting and directing show, for the lyrical side of which are the works of the French composer and singer Camille. But within the framework of a classic musical, "Emilia Pérez" introduces contemporary sensitivity, bursting old conventions to build a new, better world in their place.
