Emilia Pérez is a 2024 Spanish-language French musical crime film written and directed by Jacques Audiard. It is based on Audiard's opera libretto of the same name, which he loosely adapted from a chapter of the 2018 novel Écoute by French writer Boris Razon.
The soundtrack album features the film's original songs performed by cast members Zoe Saldaña, Gascón, Selena Gomez, Mark Ivanir, Adriana Paz
and others, as well as the original score composed by Ducol and
Camille. The soundtrack was first released digitally on 31 October 2024
by Sony Masterworks. An extended play (EP) featuring a selection of five songs from the soundtrack–"El alegato", "Para", "Papá", "El mal" and "Las damas que pasan"–was released earlier on 5 September 2024
Emilia Pérez had its world premiere on 18 May 2024 at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize and the Best Actress
award for its female ensemble. It was theatrically released by Pathé in
France on 21 August 2024. The film received generally positive reviews
from critics in the United States and Europe, who praised the direction,
music, performances and themes, but received low audience scores on
aggregators such as Rotten Tomatoes. In Mexico, the film was panned by both audiences and critics, who
criticized its cultural misrepresentation, songwriting, use of
stereotypes, and Spanish dialogue. Some LGBTQ commentators were also critical of its depiction of trans people.
Despite the polarized response, Emilia Pérez earned numerous accolades. At the 97th Academy Awards, the film led with 13 nominations and won two: Best Supporting Actress for Saldaña and Best Original Song for "El mal". At the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, the film won four awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Foreign Language Film, from 10 nominations. It also received 11 nominations at the 78th British Academy Film Awards, including Best Film, winning two.
