Emilia Pérez movie storyline. Mexico, today. Overqualified and exploited, lawyer Rita is wasting her talents working for a large firm far better at whitewashing criminal garbage than serving justice. But an unexpected way out appears, the sort of offers you can’t refuse : to help feared cartel boss Juan “Little Hands” Del Monte – aka Manitas – retire from his business and disappear forever. Manitas has a plan he’s been fine-tuning in secret for years : to become, at last, the woman he’s always dreamed of becoming.
Emilia Pérez is a 2024 musical crime comedy film written and directed by Jacques Audiard. It stars Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, and Édgar Ramírez. The original songs for the film were contributed by Camille, while its original score was provided by Clément Ducol. The choreographic sections of the film are signed by Damien Jalet.
Emilia Pérez was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it had its world premiere on 18 May 2024. The film received a standing ovation with reports that it lasted either nine minutes or 11 minutes.
World sales are handled by The Veterans. Shortly after its premiere, Netflix beat out multiple studios and was in negotiations to acquire distribution rights to the film for North America and the United Kingdom for $12 million; the deal ultimately closed at $8 million instead. The film is scheduled to be theatrically released in France on August 21, 2024 by Pathé.
