Cannes 2024: With Emilia Perez and Jacques Audiard Competition Review (Criticism)

A musical comedy from a Mexican drug dealer who switches genders! Audiard will surprise and enchant a trio of bright actresses: Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and LA Révélation Carla Sofia Gascon.

Voila déjà four days when the competition began and horror poured in, on the way to the impatient man. On ya certes vu quelques bons Films (bird d’Andrea Arnold in tête) and connu author Megapolis une de ces batailles d’Hernani is not a secret in Cannes. More Rien de Vraiment Saillant. Un robinet d’eau gentiment tiède. Et puis, tel Zorro, Audiard is here! Et enfin, et soudain, the holiday is in full swing. Come match that debuts after a long workout.

Between Audiard and Cannes, the love story began 28 years ago with a stage prize for the first performance in competition with Three-discrete hero. Suivront Prophet (Grand Prix 2009), De rouille et d’osPalm d’Or Dipan in 2015, etc. Olympics in 2021. Le plus bad accueilli et plus bigment le movie sans doute le moins aimé (mais défendu par Première) from the author and presenter, à sa manière de cet Emilia Perez. Make a pas de cote if desired. Par ce desir de se renew sur la forme (le noir et blanc) comme dans son équipe technology with this romantic gesture, qu’on ne lui connaissait pas, avec ce coté fleur bleue.

Sauf, what Emilia Perez va plus loin, plus haut, plus window. A musical comedy written by a Mexican drug lord who wants to change his gender. Rien que ça! More uniqueness! Un pari fou dans lequel Audiard mêle – sans mauvais jeu de mots – genres with a different dexterity. A song, a dance, a Greek tragedy, an action movie that defurai, a drug movie, a melody… Entrer dans Emilia Perez is the Promise of a Voyage Inouï, a spectacular, trembling pendant of 2 hours and 10 minutes without temporary death. Treats sur Rita (Zoe Saldana), a lawyer pursuing power, the son of talent at the service of defending criminals who enrage the killer and justify all the coups d’état. And do not laugh that night when she became the kidnapper of the drug dealer Manitas, to help in the change of sex and in the future Emilia, a woman who was delighted with love, after a passerby had accomplished to die auprès de sa famille. Sex change where the car of nature gives a gesture of redemption, Emilia will believe in the association of well-being, which helps victims of drug trafficking all in one debrouillant – toujours with the aid of Lisa – to remember their feelings for the woman (Selena Gomez) and the children are happy to pass by the loved one. Le quiete avant la tempête… for questions about the phenomenon, which you will deceive the 28 during a foray into the hall.

Drugs, violence, changing genres… Emilia Perez Entirely set in an era where more information is available, the stories serve the film and vice versa. There are no traces of conversations or messages to passers-by. Just a movie. Rien que du cinéma. It is a fluid screenwriting process among many repeated connections that are productive, and this is the first degree assumed and told in the age of royal cynicism. D’une musical quality, reverse grace aux Mélodies, if divine are our songs for the singer Camille and the son of Clément Ducol (jusqu’à une revisitation des Passants de Brassens en Español, which qui vous déchire le cœur dans la toute dernière ligne droite), as well as the choreographies of Poissantes by Damien Jalet, which accompany, busculent, dynamize the reading without écraser and which symbolize what ce Qu’est likes Emilia Perez. A film that doesn’t work the muscles can be valuable.

And so, he is also the embodiment of these heroines. The common feature of all Audiard’s films is the camera, released by Tahar Rahim, Karim Leklou, Reda Kateb and offering some of the best performances by cameramen Marion Cotillard, Vincent Cassel, Romain Duris, Matthias Schoenaerts… Discover the foregroundEmily Perezabout feeling redécouvrir Zoe Saldana, superstarAvatar The man who was in front of Audiard did not trust him with the role of the Australian rich man in the plein airs and delicacies. In these moments, although in a more minor role, Selena Gomez shines, she is also de mille feux in the role of a will woman who has come to tragedy. But in this trio he is already a noticeable figure. The actress destined to become Basculer on May 18, 2024 is Carla Sofia Gascón, who, as the person who incarnates, is also a man before her transition in 2018. When she stops at the beginning, everyone starts another dimension. These are characters, shots, their partners, history that are not interconnected. Tonight, Cannes Film Festival 2024, the wind of your favorite trouvère. Celui auquel tous les autres Films de la Conpetition vont désormais être Comparés. Jacques Audiard will never be here again to report to his second Palm!
