Scenario

Emilia Pérez follows four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness. Cartel leader Emilia enlists Rita, an unappreciated lawyer, to help fake her death so that she can finally live authentically as her true self.. Karla Sofía Gascón talks about the two years of preparation that went into this demanding role in Jacques Audiard' s film, and about the two extremes of her own personality that she had to play as Emilia and Manitas.. Jacques Audiard said he became inspired for the idea of ​​the musical from a chapter in a novel about a drug trafficker who yearns to change his identity.. Featured in Latino Slant: La Bamba Remake, Tarantino has a BIG Mouth, the SPICE of Jenna & Selena Shocks!

El AllegatoWritten by Camille (as C

(2024). Dalmais), Clément Ducol and Jacques AudiardPerformed by Zoe Saldana. 'Emilia Perez' is a film unlike any other. Directed by Jacques Audiard, it is a story of murder and love, of transition and its effects. A tale operatic both in form and substance.

The movie moved me

If at first you are 'put off' by the cast breaking into song I ask you, Be patient. I was and I’m glad I did. It raised questions that are as relevant as 'today'. I found myself without the words to adequately express my feelings when the film reached its close.Zoe Saldana is a young Latin American attorney who is summoned to meet the head of a drug cartel. He wishes her to become a woman (in every respect) and wishes her to manage the entire effort.

For this she will become wealthy beyond her dreams

This much we learn close to the film's beginning (no spoiler here). The balance of the film depicts that change's effect on the drug lord, his wife and children, the attorney, and – get this – the entire country of Mexico.Saldana is both beautiful and coldly efficient as the attorney. Selena Gomez as the drug lord's wife gives what was, for me, her finest performance. Much of the film belongs to Karla Sofia Gascon who portrays both the drug lord as well as his feminine self Emilia Perez. Both 'selves' are believable in every way imaginable (as the actor is, in fact, a transitioned individual).If there is any negative criticism I can offer it is that the film's length (over two hours) seemed too much.

Which is not to say I was impatient

I was simply aware of moments that seemed a bit long or unnecessary.But I quibble.And shouldn't.See the film.
