EMILIA PÉREZ | HSBC SPANISH FILM FESTIVAL SANGRIA PREVIEW

JOIN US AT A SPECIAL PREVIEW OF THE AUDACIOUS OSCAR FRONTRUNNER MUSICAL CRIME DRAMA, EMILIA PÉREZ, PRESENTED BY THE 2024 HSBC SPANISH FILM FESTIVAL!

BEFORE THE FILM, ENJOY A COMPLIMENTARY GLASS OF SANGRIA.

From renegade French auteur Jacques Audiard comes one of the most talked-about movies of the year in film circles: Emilia Pérez, part Best Picture Oscar contender, part fever dream (Forbes) that defies genres and expectations.

Through liberating song and dance and bold visuals, this florid Spanish-language musical odyssey follows the journey of four unique and remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness. The fearsome cartel leader Emilia (Karla Sofía Gascón) enlists Rita (Zoe Saldaña), an unappreciated lawyer stuck in a dead-end job, to help fake her death so that Emilia can finally live as her true authentic self.

With big stars like Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, and a phenomenal performance by Karla Sofía Gascón (who is widely predicted to make Oscars history as the first trans woman to be nominated for best actress) this wildly creative feature has been crowned as one of the most powerful and daring original musical comedy crime films to date.

Winning the prestigious Jury Prize Award as well as Best Actress for the quartet of lead actresses, Gascón, Saldaña, Gomez and Adriana Paz, at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, and masterfully balancing humour with depth, Emilia Pérez in a swaggering, heart-wrenching musical crime thriller of genre-bending fascination that is also an unapologetically transgender story.
