From renegade auteur Jacques Audiard (RUST AND BONE, A PROPHET) comes EMILIA PÉREZ, an audacious fever dream that defies genres and expectations. Blending liberating song and dance with bold visuals, this captivating odyssey follows four remarkable women in Mexico, each striving for happiness on their own terms.
Feared cartel leader Emilia (Karla Sofía Gascón) enlists Rita (Zoe Saldaña), a frustrated lawyer stuck in a dead-end job, to help stage her own death—allowing Emilia to finally live authentically as her true self.
Winner of two major awards at Cannes, this genre-defying film also stars Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, and Edgar Ramírez.
