Emilia Pérez is a 2024 Spanish-language French musical crime comedy film written and directed by Jacques Audiard. The French production is based on Audiard's opera libretto of the same name, which was in turn loosely adapted from Boris Razon's 2018 novel Écoute. The film stars Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir, and Édgar Ramírez.
The film is about a Mexican cartel leader (Gascón) who enlists a lawyer (Saldaña) to help him disappear and achieve his dream of transitioning into a woman. Its original songs were written by Camille, while its original score was provided by Clément Ducol. The choreographic sections of the film are designed by Damien Jalet.
Filming for Emilia Pérez took place from May to July 2023 in Île-de-France. The film premiered on 18 May 2024 at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, and was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in its main competition section, where it won the Jury Prize and its female ensemble collectively won the Best Actress award. It was theatrically released by Pathé on 21 August 2024 to positive reviews. It became the second most-nominated film in Golden Globe history with ten nominations at the 82nd ceremony, winning four, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (the first time a non-English-language film won the category) and Best Foreign Language Film, while Gascón became the first trans woman to be nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Additionally, it was named one of the top 10 films of 2024 by the American Film Institute, and was selected as the French entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
