The final trailer for Emilia Pérez has been released online. Written and directed by Jacques Audiard, the film is based on Audiard’s opera of the same name, which in turn is adapted from Boris Razon‘s Listen.
Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Karla Sofía Gascón, Mark Ivanir, and Édgar Ramirez star in the Cannes Award-winning film, which garnered the Jury Prize, Soundtrack Award, and Best Actress for its four lead actresses.
Here is the plot synopsis:
“From renegade auteur Jacques Audiard comes Emilia Pérez, an audacious fever dream that defies genres and expectations. Through liberating song and dance and bold visuals, this odyssey follows the journey of four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness. 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 finally live authentically as her true self. Written and directed by Audiard (Rust and Bone, A Prophet), the double Cannes-winning film also stars Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, and Edgar Ramírez.”
Our editor-in-chief, Joey Magidson, praised the trio of Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, and Karla Sofía Gascón, stating, “The ladies here are all really good, turning in fearless performances. Karla Sofía Gascón is a wonderful discovery, while Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana are revelations. Gascón has such a hard role to play but does it perfectly, with such a deep well of emotion. Gomez gets to show layers we’ve never seen before from her, while Saldana’s singing and dancing proves a highlight.” You can read his full review of the movie here.
