As a dedicated fan who has followed Selena Gomez‘s journey from Disney to Hollywood, I must say this is undoubtedly one of her most significant roles yet! The fact that she is portraying a character similar to herself adds a unique depth and authenticity to her performance in Emilia Pérez.
Selena Gomez is a multitalented woman who has proven it yet again! The singer and actress is all set to appear in her first Spanish-language film, Emilia Pérez.
At a question-and-answer session after the movie’s screening at the Toronto Film Festival on September 9, 2024, Gomez explained why the film holds a special place for her. “It turned out to be quite fascinating as I eventually got to create a character that bears a strong resemblance to myself,” shared Gomez.
Jessi Del Monte, the spouse of drug cartel leader Emilia Pérez (Karla Sofía Gascón), is the character she plays. In this role, she attempts to pull off a convincing act of her own demise. Moreover, she expressed that she feels many Latin Americans can identify with her character and is grateful for the opportunity to represent Latin American women, whom she shares a connection in reality.
Gomez also shared that she felt quite apprehensive when she committed to the movie since it was her first time acting in Spanish. Notably, this production offers an extra delight for her Spanish-speaking audience because Gomez not only acted but also sang in the film.
At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival premiere in May, Gomez found himself overwhelmed with emotion and shedding tears. The film was met with a prolonged standing ovation, lasting for several minutes. Later on, it garnered the Jury Prize, while its talented female cast received the Best Actress award, as reported by both Variety and Deadline.
Gomez shared an emotional post on Instagram following her victory. Additionally, Selena is the main character, with Zoe Saldana joining the cast as Rita, a character portrayed as a lawyer.
The movie is directed by Jacques Audiard and produced by Pascal Caucheteux, who heads Why Not Productions. This production is not only inspired by Audiard’s opera libretto with the same title, but also loosely based on Boris Razon’s 2018 novel “Écoute”, which served as its foundation.
The movie will have a restricted cinema debut in the United States and Canada on November 1, after which it will become available on popular streaming platform Netflix on November 13, 2024.
The movie blends various genres seamlessly, offering elements of drama, music, action, and humor, all while maintaining the central theme of the plot.
According to Variety, it could be the streamer’s most significant Academy Awards candidate for this year, given its acclaimed performance at Cannes.
