Emilia Perez
Rita is a smart, undervalued lawyer dreaming of the day she’ll stop working for a firm more interested in profiting from criminals than bringing them to justice. One day, she is unceremoniously hired by a cartel boss, who enlists her help in undergoing gender affirming surgery in order to live as their true self. Years later, a deep friendship blossoms between them when Rita helps Emilia reunite with her family. Audiard brings his fearless directorial flair to this musical fantasy, which is operatic in both scope and emotion. Terrific central performances by Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Adriana Paz and Selena Gomez help make it a touching story of redemption and love.
