220 - The Making of Emilia Pérez

The groundbreaking musical “Emilia Pérez,” which captured the Jury Prize at Cannes, is redefining the movie musical genre. Directed by the visionary Jacques Audiard, the film explores identity, transformation, and redemption with a powerful ensemble cast. From the vibrant choreography of its musical numbers to its daring and surreal visual style, “Emilia Pérez” is a boldly original film. Join us as we dive behind the scenes with the creative team to uncover how this extraordinary film was brought to life and how it all came together as a successful musical.

"[Director] Jacques [Audiard} always says he had this idea a long time ago — to make a little opera. And then for this movie, he finally decided to turn it into a musical. But for some reason, I think when he started the idea, he just made a treatment. And then, [composers and songwriters] Camille and Clément started to work."
