Formidable cartel boss Emilia asks Rita, an unappreciated lawyer, to take on an unexpected case: to help fake Emilia’s death so she can have sex-reassignment operations and begin a new life under a new name - Emilia Pérez.
The potentialbest Netflix movieis described as an “audacious fever dream” byTudum,Emilia Pérezalso serves as an opera. Saldaña revealed: “It was described to me as this film noir that didn’t really exist in any of the conventional kind of genres, but it was a musical. It was actually an opera, and based in a crime world, but there was going to be a sense of justice, and validation, and sanctification. And I was just like, ‘What?’ I had to read it more than once. And then, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”
The operatic tale also stars Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, and Édgar Ramírez.
