Emilia Pérez (Latin American Spanish: [eˈmilja ˈpeɾes]) 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 film follows a Mexican cartel leader (Karla Sofía Gascón) who aims to disappear and transition into a woman with the help of a lawyer (Zoe Saldaña). Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir, and Édgar Ramírez also appear in starring roles.
