Story
Emily Perez follows four remarkable women in Mexico, each in pursuit of their own happiness. Cartel leader Emily enlists Rita, an underrated lawyer, to help fake her death so she can finally live authentically as her true self, and for the two extremes of her personality she had to play as Emily and Manita. Audiard said he was inspired by the idea for the musical from a chapter in the novel about a drug dealer who wants to change his identity. Featured in Latino Slant: La Bamba Remake, Tarantino’s BIG Mouth, Jenna & SPICE; Selena shocks! (2024). Dalmais), Clement Dicol and Jacques Audiard Performed by Zoe Saldana. My second favorite film from Cannes after "The Substance" (I didn’t see "Anora).
This is pure insanity
A musical about drug dealers and corruption in Mexico??? WTF???"Emily Perez" is really inventive. It combines many different genres: drama, comedy, musical, thriller, but it does it in a very good and entertaining way. It is also extremely original and also surprisingly emotional. Here is a character who has a touching and heartbreaking journey throughout the film. I won’t go into details. This isn’t really a spoiler since it’s revealed within the first 15-20 minutes of the movie, but I didn’t know about it and was shocked that this movie went in that direction.
there are definitely shows
So we recommend not reading the description and going into it completely blind if you want to get the best possible experience. At Cannes, it won the best actress award for even 4 performances (Carla Sophie Gascon, Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz). Saldana plays the title character, and there are plenty of intense and colorful scenes (especially the musical ones). I’m glad that after all these blockbusters, she finally got a role where she could showcase her acting skills. Gascon plays the main character. It’s kind of a supporting role, but she’s the heart of the movie and the whole plot revolves around her. Gomez and Paz were good, but I’m surprised they won the Palme too – their performances weren’t as great and memorable as the vision of Saldana and Gascon’s Jacques Audiard.
bold and impressive
This movie is stylish and looks beautiful. I love the cinematography and the score. Not everything works perfectly, and there were a few moments where I wasn’t completely sold, but most of the time I enjoyed it and was blown away by its craziness, ingenuity, and originality. I’m not a big fan of musicals, but the musical scenes (of which there aren’t many) in this movie are exciting and very well choreographed. shots that make them enjoyable to watch. The songs are catchy and memorable (my favorites are about vaginoplasty and the taste of cola)."Emily Perez" not for everyone. Some people walked out, some said it was one of the worst films of the festival, some loved it (including me).
Let’s support weird and niche cinema
The general public will not like it. The closest movie to this I’ve seen is "Annette" by Leos Carax. "Emily Perez" is much more enjoyable, but will still be missed by many people. But I still invite you to see it.
