It was directed by the French director Jack Audiadfor Emilia Perez It was first shown in May 2024 at the Cannes Film Festival in France, where he immediately received a warm reception. Gascón, Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Adriana Baz She was honored with the best actress while Emilia Perez The jury award was given. However, the criticism came as soon as it hit the Netflix movie in the next September.
The team of actors and the crew realizes the differences, and the director encouraged people to see the movie before forming opinions. “I would like to tell the people who participate in this controversy that the film was not released in Mexico. Audiad told Audiad CNN in the Spanish language In the January 15 interview while discussing the reverse reaction. “So, please, if you want to criticize the movie, and criticize it after seeing it. Then we will discuss it.”
Here are the largest points of disagreement between Emilia Perez Critics:
Mexican representation
Emilia Perez It is located in Mexico and deals with sensitive topics such as drug trafficking, gang violence and missing persons. Critics note that a person who did not live in Mexico under these threats may not be the best person to tell such a story, but rather some accused the film of sustaining stereotypes.
“If there are things that Mexicans find a scandal in Emilia, I apologize,” Audiad told CNN en Español.
Not only the topic that sparked a violent reaction. Gascón From SpainAnd not Mexico. Baz is the only actor born in Mexico among expected customers. The film was also appointed in Mexico – but Audiard was largely filmed by Emilia Perez in France.
I came to the scout sites. At that time, I had every intention to shoot the movie here. But in the end I could not. I even thought that when I could not do this in natural locations, I can do this in Churubusco Studios. “However, there was more financial facilities in France. But the technical director came to Mexico to conduct research. I found many items. We have come Here to Mexico (f) we did proceeds. “
Spanish questionable
Many Spanish spectators raised their eyebrows while watching Emilia Perez. Audiad wrote the scenario and wrote French singer Camille songs, and both had to work with a translator because he did not speak Spanish. Songs and dialogue have been criticized as embarrassing and burning, and many social media users have noted that English translations are not accurate translations.
“Cameel worked with a great translator, Carla Avilis, which is the Mexican,” told the director. New York Times In November. “But throughout the shooting, we faced problems, for example, Selena's dialect in Spanish. It is Texas. These problems with dialects, but we are fixed in editing. We have done a lot of Dubbing.
Audiard expressed his appreciation for the language of CNN EN ESPANOL in January, explaining: “Although I do not speak Spanish, I think her music is very beautiful and wanted to do a Spanish opera.”
Meanwhile, Gomez, who was not fluent in the Spanish language, faced a violent reaction to her performance in the film with critics claiming that they can tell her that she does not know what she is saying. “I feel she does not know what she is saying. If you don't know what she is saying, you will not be able to give her the behavior of any slight difference.”
Gomez He responded directly via Tiktok In December 2024. “I understand where I came from,” Gomez commented in Spanish. “I'm sorry. I have done the best I could have given.” He later apologized for his comments.
Representation
Jar Emilia Perez is called “a step back to transit representation”, in one article. The film was significantly missing from the nominations for the Glaad Media Awards on Wednesday, January 22. The honored representative of a meaningful representation of the LGBTQ+community was praised.
Many critics, converted with various issues with the film, were martyred from unrealistic photography of gender assertion surgery to the way Emilia's transition seems to be equivalent to morals.
AutostradDle The film was criticized as “unique nonsense in the Association of Independent Countries” to be filled with excessive tracks of converting people. “It is not a matter of crime or something that is not allowed,” wrote critic Drew Burnett Gregory. “It is boring. I do not understand why he chooses a movie that suffers from this in other ways to undermine his strengths with this shallow understanding of his luxury personality.”
During, Pink news I noticed that the biggest crime was that she never felt a honest story of transition. “The point is not that transient representation must be ideal, but it must be serious, and Emilia Perez does not feel serious,” wrote the critic Amelia Hansford.
Using artificial intelligence
Sound designer Cyrill Holtz “It has been used to change the Gascón sound.” For a song that runs before the Emilia Sex, the director wanted to look different. Use artificial intelligence to mix the sound of Gascón and Camille, who wrote the musical numbers.
“In the case of Carla Sofia, it was more complicated because there were already parts of the field that were very difficult, especially because it had already moved and there were records that were no longer available to her,” Holtz said in French. During an interview about technology in Cannes.
