Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña and Édgar Ramírez on the Politics of ‘Emilia Perez’: ‘We Don’t Recognize the Country in Which We Live’
The stars of "Emilia Perez," a Cannes sensation set in Mexico, get honest about the state of affairs in the country.
Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña and Édgar Ramírez fielded questions at a press conference for the Jacques Audiard project about the film’s setting in Mexico — a country torn by cartel violence as it heads for a summer election. In the film, from Palme d’Or winner Audiard, Saldaña stars as Rita, an “overqualified and undervalued” lawyer, whose firm is more inclined to help criminals than seek justice. She finds an unexpected way out when a feared drug cartel leader Manitas (Gascón) recruits her to aid him in surreptitiously completing a sex change operation to become the woman he’s always wanted to be.
