‘Emilia Pérez’: Clément Ducol and Camille On Crafting an Emotional Music Arc for Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña
'Emilia Pérez' songwriters Camille Dalmais and Clément Ducol on crafting an emotional soundtrack for its leading characters.
Filmmaker Jacques Audiard gave virtually no notes when he sent French songwriting and composing duo Camille Dalmais and Clément Ducol an early draft of his latest film, “ Emilia Perez,” but by the time they got to the last page of the script, they were inspired to write a song called “Para.” “Emilia Perez,” which premiered at Cannes in May and unspools in TIFF, stars Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Karla Sofía Gascón in a genre-defying combination of crime and pop songs.
