Emilia Pérez15

Directed by Jacques Audiard | France | 2024 | 2h 12m | French & Spanish w/ English subtitles | Starring Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldana, Karla Sofía Gascón, Adriana Paz, Edgar Ramírez

Cartel leader Emilia recruits Rita, an under-appreciated lawyer stuck in a dead-end job, to help her stage her own death and finally embrace her true identity. But as their carefully crafted plan unravels, the past threatens to destroy everything they’ve built. Jacques Audiard’s (A Prophet) bold and electrifying crime drama blends dark humour with musical interludes, driven by a quartet of award-winning performances from Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Reviews

‘A musical for our time indeed.’
★★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times

‘“Emilia Pérez” emerges as a powerful, unfiltered portrait of someone who challenges several stereotypes at once. That’s a testament to leading lady Karla Sofía Gascón and the audacity of Audiard.’
Peter Debruge, Variety

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
