This week’s film is EMILIA PÉREZ (2024).
According to Wikipedia “Emilia Pérez is a 2024 musical crime comedy film written and directed by Jacques Audiard. Based on Audiard’s opera libretto of the same name, which itself was based on the 2018 novel Écoute by Boris Razon, the film follows a Mexican cartel leader (Karla Sofía Gascón) who enlists a lawyer (Zoe Saldaña) to help her disappear so that she may transition into a woman. Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir and Édgar Ramírez also appear in starring roles. The film is an international co-production between France, Mexico and Belgium.”
