Emilia Pérez (2024)
8/10
Another brilliantly quirky take on the musical
21 November 2024
Emilia Perez - recently had a small cinematic release, now on Netflix. First came Joker: Folie a Deux. Now comes another 'musical', with a difference. Emilia Perez is the eponymous former Mexican drug lord who was forced into a life in which they did not belong. With the help of a put on and underpaid lawyer, the drug lord fakes his own death, and is then reborn. Only Emilia and the lawyer know the truth. This was a strange but brilliant film. The musical lyrics are at times purposefully silly, at other times poignant. Some times happy, other times sad. Some will love this film, others will hate it. I'm firmly in the former category. One thing is for sure, you've never seen a film like it. 8.5 out of ten.
