The film 'Emilia Pérez', directed by Jacques Audiard, has sparked controversy over its depiction of the Mexican community, particularly following the leading star Karla Sofía Gascón's racism issues. Critics argue that the film misrepresents Mexican culture and highlights the lack of authentic Mexican voices in its production. During the Oscars press tour, Zoe, part of the film's team, was confronted about this portrayal, leading her to express regret but assert that the film's focus was not solely on Mexico, but on universal themes of oppression and survival among women.
First of all, I'm very, very sorry that you and so many Mexicans felt offended. That was never our intention. We spoke from a place of love, and I will stand by that.
We weren't making a film about a country. We were making a film about four women... And these women are still very universal women that are struggling every day.
