Après deux prix à Cannes, ce drame musical sur un chef de cartel mexicain qui embrasse enfin la femme qu'il a toujours été sort bientôt dans les salles de cinéma en France. Découvrez la bande-annonce.

Jacques Audiard is a regular on the Croisette. The French director has already won three awards at the Cannes Film Festival: a Palme d'Or (Dheepan, 2015), the Grand Jury Prize (A Prophet, 2009) and the award for best screenplay (A Very Discreet Hero, 1996). For his return to the Croisette, the filmmaker has chosen to take all the risks with a completely crazy project. Emilia Pérez is a musical drama in Spanish (mostly) that mixes the Mexican cartel and transgender identity. Yes, you read that right.

In detail, Emilia Pérezfollows a lawyer in the midst of an existential crisis who is given a mission by a fearsome Mexican gang leader: to help him disappear and finally become the woman he has always been deep down. At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, this musical drama received two awards: a Best Actress award for its four actresses (Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz) and the Jury Prize. A first trailer has been unveiled, in which all the tension of the film is played out and during which it is possible to see some dance scenes. She is see below before Emilia Pérez releases in theaters on August 21.

Synopsis – Overqualified and overexploited, Rita uses her talents of a lawyer serving a large firm more inclined & to whitewash criminals & #39; to serve justice. But an unexpected way out opens up for her, helping the leader of Manitas cartel to retire from business and carry out the plan he has been secretly refining for years: to finally become the woman he always wanted. dreamed of being.

A tale of atonement and second chances, Emilia Pérez, which we saw at the Cannes Film Festival, is very surprising, but the cocktail, as explosive and disconcerting as it is, succeeds in taking hold. Thanks to virtuoso staging and superb photography, Jacques Audiard films the repentance of a gang leader, her liberation through her trans identity, and the evils that tear society apart. Mexican, drug traffickers and corruption in the lead. 

In the middle, there are opposing paths of women who complement and respond to each other until the end. an astonishing finale. L'heroïne played by Spanish actress Karla Sofía Gascón (herself a transgender woman)  is flamboyant in every nuance of her inner tension, while Zoe Saldana is remarkable in the face of her inner tension. an astonishing Selena Gomez, who finally shows that if well directed, she can create sparks. 

Far from the standards of Broadway musicals, composers Clément Ducol and Camille have created a powerful soundtrack to make everyone dance and dance. the screen reveals the intimacy of its characters. Emilia PérezHowever, it is not free from faults, the sung parts are sometimes quite weak and do not echo the sound. the power of the mix of voices or the moment, the plot or certain dialogues don't always take hold, but we are ready to hear it. forgive these imperfections in the face of the pleasure that viewing provides.
