Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Karla Sofía Gascón star in Jacques Audiard's jaw-dropping musical about a Mexican cartel boss seeking gender-affirming surgery.

From the moment it introduces its titular antiheroine, a Mexican drug-cartel boss seeking gender-affirming surgery, this boldly genre-dissolving tour de force is predicated on the power of astonishing transformations. 

This is Jacques Audiard's (Rust and Bone, The Sisters Brothers) most ambitious and exuberant film to date. This jaw-dropping musical crossed with a darkly funny crime drama is powered by a quartet of superb actresses. Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón (who may become the first trans actress to win an Oscar), Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz deliver fearless performances that defy every expectation. Winner of the Jury Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where its four leads also shared the Best Actress prize, Emilia Pérez is all adrenaline and heart.
