The gonzo trans Mexican drug lord musical 'Emilia Perez' lights up Cannes

Hindustan Times

CANNES, France — On paper, Jacques Audiard's buzzed-about Cannes Film Festival entry “Emilia Perez” would not seem anything like a good idea for a movie. As gonzo as its premise may be, or possibly because of it, “Emilia Perez” gave Cannes a mid-festival jolt. Audiard, the protean French filmmaker of “A Prophet,” “Rust and Bone” and the 2015 Cannes Palme …
