Netflix has released a new trailer for Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, winner of the Jury Prize and Best Actress award for Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
In the wordless, 90 second teaser set to one of the film’s many original songs, a fever dream that defies genres and expectations, we follow the journeys of four remarkable women in Mexico, each in pursuit of their own happiness. The story centers around Emilia (Gascón), a formidable cartel leader who enlists Rita (Saldaña), an unappreciated lawyer stuck in a dead-end job; to help fake her death so she can live authentically as her true self. With liberating song and dance sequences and bold visuals, Audiard takes audiences on a thrilling odyssey of identity and transformation. In his review for AwardsWatch, Ali Benzekri called it “nothing short of fabulous,” remarking, “Selena Gomez delivers a standout performance,” “Saldaña’s nuanced performance shines,” and that “the true heart of Emilia Pérez lies in the astonishing performance of Karla Sofía Gascón.”
It was announced last week that the female cast of Emilia Pérez will receive the MVFF Ensemble Spotlight Award at the 47th Mill Valley Film Festival on October 5.
Netflix will release Emilia Pérez in select theaters in the U.S. and Canada on November 1 and on Netflix November 13. Watch the trailer below.
