More About Emilia Perez
Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Perez is a French musical crime comedy film based on his opera libretto of the same name. The text was loosely adapted from Boris Razon’s 2018 novel Écoute.
The movie follows overqualified and undervalued, Rita (Zoe Saldana), a lawyer at a large firm that is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice. One day, she is given an unexpected way out when cartel leader Manitas (Karla Sofia Gascon) hires her to help him withdraw from his business and realize a plan he has been secretly preparing for years: to become the woman he has always dreamt of being.
