"Emilia Pérez" merges musical exuberance with a lawyer's dramatic conflict in a drug-cartel narrative, showcasing the absurdity of personal and professional dilemmas in exaggerated styles.
Rita Mora Castro's struggle reflects a broader commentary on gender roles and justice, painting her as both a victim of the system and a participant in it through song.
The film's approach emphasizes style over substance, with vibrant numbers underscoring characters' conflicts without delving deeply into their emotional landscapes, leaving audiences entertained but not enriched.
Director Jacques Audiard captures the essence of melodrama, where the interplay of temptation and intimidation drives character dynamics, particularly showcased in the relationship between Rita and Manitas.
