One of the hottest titles of the year, an Oscar favourite (13 nominations!) and a blockbuster at the last Cannes Film Festival, ‘Emilia Pérez’ left with the Jury Prize and the Best Actress Award, awarded – exceptionally – to the film’s all-female cast of four. Jacques Audiard’s new film (‘Paris, 13th District’, ‘The Prophet’) is a thrilling spectacle set in Mexico, which is constantly transforming from thriller to classic melodrama, from musical to passionate drama in Almodovar’s spirit. That’s because the fearless and dancing ‘Emilia Perez” is a story about freedom from all conventions and the dramatic transformation the world needs today. The change begins with a lawyer, Rita, disillusioned with the law that defends the most powerful – ruthless, wealthy men. But one day, Rita receives a surprising offer from one of them: to be a companion on the road to redemption. On this risky journey, she will meet three ready-for-anything women who want to listen to their hearts in a violent, macho society. The time has come to turn revenge into redress, contempt into compassion and fear into trust. ‘Emilia Perez ‘argues that it is time for the world to stop being black and white. A film brimming with energy, both fabulous and hypnotic.
