Winner of the Jury Prize and Best Actress Prize for Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascón and Adriana Paz at this year's Cannes Film Festival, French auteur Jacques Audiard's audacious Mexico-set musical has to be seen (on the biggest possible screen) to be believed. Stuck working at a corporate law firm, Rita (Saldaña) is underpaid and undervalued until a vicious cartel boss (Gascón) enlists her to help with her covert gender transition. Leaving a wife, Jessi (Gomez), and children behind, she blossoms into Emilia Pérez and, with the help of Rita, starts a human-rights nonprofit. But when Jessi returns with a new beau (Édgar Ramírez), will Emilia be able to fully let go of the past? Featuring bold songs by French pop star Camille and even bolder performances from its cadre of leading ladies, EMILIA PÉREZ is a singular sensation.
