EMILIA PÉREZ

In the organizer's words:

Feature film - F, US, MEX 2024 - 130' - OmeU

Director: Jacques Audiard

Lawyer Rita seems trapped in a frustrating job in Mexico City until a mysterious caller offers her a lot of money for a not entirely legal assignment. No more can be revealed about this ludicrous mixture of musical, thriller and telenovela melodrama. Who would have thought that the otherwise hyper-masculine Jacques Audiard (A PROPHET) would make a movie that would have made Pedro Almodóvar proud. With a fantastic ensemble around Zoë Zaldana, who was awarded the acting prize in Cannes.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.
