The first trailer for the French release of Emilia Perez is here
Last month, Emilia Perez took the Cannes Film Festival by storm. Jacques Audiard ’s audacious musical about a transgender Mexican drug cartel leader premiered to critical acclaim and earned a joint Best Actress prize for its trio of stars: Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez , and Karla Sofía Gascón. Netflix has been circling a deal for the U.S. and U.K. rights, but the film is set to premiere in France in August.
Audiard was inspired to write an “opera libretto” based on a plot point about a drug dealer planning to get gender reassignment surgery in Boris Razon’s novel Écoute. After casting Gascón in the role, she “had a lot of conversations with him over the years—sending a lot of emails, and a lot of pictures of my body to inform a lot of scenes. We really interacted and we nourished each other mutually, so it went both ways,” Gascón told Vanity Fair.
