Thanks to our friends at Kismet we have five in-season double passes to give away to Emilia Perez. The film is a critically acclaimed musical drama that combines Jacques Audiard’s masterful direction with standout performances from Karla Sofía Gascón, a scene-stealing Selena Gomez, and a never-better Zoe Saldaña. 

The ensemble was collectively awarded the Best Actress prize at Cannes. Fresh off its accolades at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, including the Jury Prize win and a Palme d’Or nomination, this film is a strong contender in the Oscars race. Emilia Perez explores timely LGBTQIA+ themes of identity, transformation, and resilience, making it a must-watch for the queer community, cinephiles and music lovers alike.

From the acclaimed Audiard (Rust and Bone) this film is a gripping, hot Oscar contender that’s taking the world by storm! With an evocative score, Emilia Perez delivers a powerful tale of ambition and identity. In cinemas January 16.

Synopsis:

Overqualified and undervalued, Rita is a lawyer at a large firm that is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice. One day, she is given an unexpected way out, when cartel leader Manitas hires her to help him withdraw from his business and realise a plan he has been secretly preparing for years: to become the woman he has always dreamt of being.

The film opens on January 16, 2025.
