Jacques Audiard (A Prophet, Rust & Bone) directs Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Karla Sofía Gascón in a musical thriller that took the Cannes Film Festival by storm and is a major contender in the 2024 award season.
Lawyer Rita Moro Castro (Saldaña) has made a career of protecting corrupt politicians and criminals but has little to show for it. Contacted by representatives of a cartel boss, Castro finds herself confronted by the notorious Manitas Del Monte (Gascón) and an unexpected proposition: help Del Monte fake their death, coordinate compensation for widow Jessi (Gomez) and arrange a male to female transition for the outlaw.
Packed with striking musical numbers and outstanding performances, Audiard’s maverick musical is a must-see.
