Filmhuis Sneek - Emilia Pérez

She receives a mysterious phone call from drug lord Manitas Del Monte. He makes Rita an offer she can't refuse. She will never have to work again if she helps him leave his empire behind. In fact, Manitas has a plan he has been secretly refining for years: finally become the woman he has always wanted to be, Emilia Pérez.
Emilia Perez is a unique, quirky film about identity, parenthood, social responsibility and crime. This film by French director Jacques Audiard is a strong indictment of the violent and corrupt in Mexico, a country where more than a hundred thousand people are missing. It is a crime film, a drama a melodrama, a musical of the black kind, and this exciting mix results in a fascinating film, grim, ominous, sometimes a little over the top. Great nonetheless.
So far, the film is winning one film award after another. Must mean something.
