Emilia Pérez

Lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) is a small light in a big firm: overqualified but underrepresented. Drug dealers, murderers and cartel bosses owe their freedom to her intelligence. Her boss, who is always corrupt, basks in the glare. One day she is offered a way out: cartel boss Manitas del Monte (Karla Sofía Gascón) wants to leave the mafia world with her help. Rita is to draw a line under his dubious life's work, organise a new life for his wife Jessi (Selena Gomez) and children and implement a plan that he has been preparing in secret for years: to transform himself completely into the woman he has always been deep down - Emilia Pérez.

This cinematic show full of vitality and energy is nothing less than a revelation. Multi-award-winning director Jacques Audiard (including A PROPHET, THE TASTE OF RUST AND BONE) writes himself into history with this formally revolutionary story about the absolute freedom of self-discovery. A show full of vitality and energy that captivates all the senses, casts a spell and passionately celebrates the power of cinema.

Honoured at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival with the Best Actress Award for the female ensemble and the Jury Prize.
