‘Emilia Pérez’ Review: Jacques Audiard’s Musical Is Crazy, But Also A Marvel – Cannes Film Festival
Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana star in Jacques Audiard's Emilia Perez, a wildly original musical movie about about a Mexican druglord's sex change,
A largely Spanish-language musical about a Mexican druglord having a sex change, featuring onetime Disney teen star Selena Gomez as a gangster’s wife: nobody could deny director and writer Jacques Audiard ’s giddy determination to do something different, but how could Emilia Pérez be anything but a hot mess? Saldaña brings warmth and a sense of solidity to Rita, guiding us through the plot’s giddying excesses; Karla Sofía Gascón is appropriately larger than life as both the monstrous cartel boss and as Emilia, a born-again woman with the proud demeanor of a ship’s figurehead. Title: Emilia Pérez Festival: Cannes (Competition) Director: Jacques Audiard Cast: Adriana Paz, Edgar Ramirez, Mark Ivanir, Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez Sales agent: The Veterans Running time: 2 hr 10 min
