‘Emilia Pérez’ Director Jacques Audiard Disavows Karla Sofía Gascón But Stands Up For Film In Crucial Awards Weekend: Q&A


Emilia Pérez director Jacques Audiard says is disappointed with Karla Sofia Gascón’s behavior as awards season ramps up.

Gascón reportedly will not be part of the weekend’s activities, but as a nominee she still gets a ticket to the Oscars, and if she comes she should not be surprise if she gets the cold shoulder from her cohorts on Emilia P é rez. In this exclusive interview with Deadline, Audiard expresses profound disappointment with Gascón’s behavior, essentially disowning her for the position she has put others in, and for her continued appearances filled with half-apologies, and the hurt felt by those she targeted in her original missives. I thought I was coming back here full of enthusiasm and now there’s a sadness that we have to get past, if things aren’t clear, then we need to shed light on them and we’re going to have to spend time on continuing to really defend this film.
