Emilia Pérez, was a hit for Jacques Audiard at the latest Cannes festival and has now opened the Perlak section. It is a story about narcos and redemption, stripped of all the testosterone that is usually such a fundamental part of this type of story, shot entirely in Spanish and, to top it all, flirts with the forms of musical cinema. “There’s nothing strange about it “ Audiard says. “I had wanted to tell a story set in the world of narcos for a long time and while reading a book on the subject, I came across the character of a drug trafficker who wanted to change his sex. I found this so striking that I based not just the script around this but I wrote a kind of operatic libretto with different scenes starring this character.”
Karla Sofía Gascón, the Spanish actress who become the first trans person to win the best actress award at Cannes, recalls that when she received the script “the first thing I thought was that it was never going to get made. I was also worried about delving into clichés about drug traffickers and how they were going to react in Mexico to this, but then you meet Jacques and you just sense that everything is going to be fine.”
