Synopsis:
From renegade auteur Jacques Audiard comes Emilia Pérez, an audacious fever dream that defies genres and expectations.
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 live authentically as her true self. This musical odyssey follows the journey of four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness.

EMILIA PÉREZ, in select theaters November and on Netflix November 13 in the US, UK and Canada.
Emilia Pérez is a phenomenal role. It’s a dream role that is hard to find because it has so much depth, so much richness. And for an actor to get into it, it needs a lot of dedication, and a lot of work because you have two voices that also sing with a Mexican accent. It is so huge.

It was described to me as this film noir that didn’t really exist in any of the conventional kind of genres, but it was a musical. It was actually an opera, and based in a crime world, but there was going to be a sense of justice, and validation, and sanctification. And I was just like, ‘What?’ I had to read it more than once. And then, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
In the beginning of the film, Jessi is very much content with the life that she’s living with the family in Mexico, and that’s kind of where she was rooted. I think she gets so discombobulated once there is a sudden move, and she doesn’t know what to do.
