Jacques Audiard’s latest film, Emilia Perez, is a bold departure from his typical genre, merging crime drama with the musical format, challenging genre boundaries.
In adapting Emilia Perez, Audiard not only transformed the protagonist into a trans woman but also altered supporting characters, reflecting a shift toward contemporary representation.
The film, which explores identity amid Mexico's drug wars, highlights a unique narrative: a cartel boss transitioning gender, showcasing Audiard's willingness to tackle provocative themes.
Emilia Perez debuted at Cannes to acclaim, focusing on character sympathy and tonal shifts, earning four actresses a shared best actress award and the jury prize.
