Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, and Selena Gomez shine in ‘Emilia Pérez’

Published

French Director’s latest film explores gender identity.

In a cinematic feat akin to a rose blooming amidst a minefield, Jacques Audiard’s latest film Emilia Pérez emerges as a remarkable tale of transformation and redemption set against the backdrop of Mexico’s cartel underworld. 

With a Palme d’Or already under his belt and a bold willingness to delve into a culture and language foreign to him, Audiard, known for acclaimed works like A Prophet, ventures into uncharted territory once more.

Pérez centers on the enigmatic Manitas del Monte, a formidable drug lord with a gritty demeanor and an unexpected revelation—he seeks to transition into a woman. 

Audiard’s daring exploration of Mexican cartels and gender identity adds a unique dimension to his filmmaking repertoire, marking Emilia Pérez as a daring and boundary-pushing addition to his body of work.

In latest film, starring Zoe Saldaña as the lawyer aiding Manitas in transitioning and Selena Gomez as the mother of their children, the narrative diverges from conventional expectations set by GLAAD and other LGBT advocates. 

Despite this departure, the film emerges as a compelling portrayal challenging multiple stereotypes, owing to the remarkable performance by lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón, who embodies the complex character of Manitas/Emilia.

However, movie predominantly in Spanish, presents a distinct interpretation of this concept. It explores the notion of transforming the epitome of toxic masculinity into a woman, not in the vein of Griselda Blanco from “Cocaine Godmother,” but in a manner that transcends the original aggressive persona.

Ariana Grande breaks silence on Ethan Slater relationship

Ariana Grande is finally breaking silence on her relationship with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.

The Grammy-winning singer and Broadway performer, who developed a close bond with Ethan while filming the stage adaptation of the hit musical, opened up to Variety in her latest interview.

She told the outlet, “It definitely doesn’t get any easier, seeing some of the negativity that was birthed by disreputable tabloids.”

While she alluded to the media furore, the Eternal Sunshine superstar went on to admit, “Of course, I went through a lot of life changes during the filming of this movie. A lot of people that were working on it did. We were away for two years. So, of course, I understand why it was a field day for the tabloids to sort of create something that paid their bills.”

The publication further claimed that the singer has spoken out against ‘specific allegations,’ insisting that she “will never go into certain details.”

On professional front, Ariana portrays the role of Glinda, The Good Witch alongside Ethan’s character Boq in Wicked.

Prince William turns blind eye to Harry’s show in London

Prince Harry, who turned out at the WellChild Awards in London to recognise some of Britain’s bravest children on Monday, seemingly failed to win heart of his brother Prince William.

The Duke of Sussex arrived at a central London hotel just two miles from Buckingham Palace and less than an hour’s drive from Windsor, where William lives with his family.

However, future King William reportedly turned a blind eye to his brother presence in the town even if William is believed to be in Windsor with his family at the time.

Meanwhile, King Charles is in Scotland, at Balmoral with his wife Queen Camilla.

Harry made a solo appearance in London as his wife Meghan Markle stayed in the US with thier two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke is not expected to meet with senior royals during his time in the UK as the royal feud between the Sussexes and the Firm still continues. William is said to be not on speaking terms with his younger brother and did not interact with him when they came face to face at their uncle’s funeral.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, was given four glass hearts by inspiring youngster Scarlett Cripps – one for himself, and one each for wife Meghan Markle and children Archie and Lilibet – so he can keep them close even when he’s visiting Britain on a solo trip.

Prince Harry hailed ‘little legends’ after sharing a laugh with brave WellChild award winners.

‘The WellChild Awards is an event that never fails to inspire me. Harry spoke about his role as a father in his speech: ‘As a parent, I know a little about the emotional rollercoaster of parenting.”

WellChild, which supports sick children, was one of four charities that Harry and his wife Meghan Markle chose to encourage donations to instead of gifts to celebrate the upcoming birth of their first child, Prince Archie, in 2019.

Buckingham Palace released a statement one month before Archie’s birth explaining how the couple wanted to ‘encourage members of the public to make donations to select charities for children and parents in need’.

Selena Gomez expresses gratitude over major career milestone

Selena Gomez was ranked a billionaire for the first time, in early September, on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Talking about this new landmark in her career, the Emilia Perez actress told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m very grateful,” in an interview on Monday, September 30.

“I personally think it’s distasteful to talk about money. But I really am giving all the credit to the people who buy the products,” Gomez said. “They’re the ones that made this dream of mine come true. So I’m really, really honoured and just happy.”

According to the Bloomberg report, her current net worth stands at $1.3 billion.

The Love On songstress launched her beauty line, Rare Beauty, four years ago accompanied by her third studio album, Rare.

The brand reportedly accounts for the “vast bulk of Gomez’s wealth” today per the outlet.

The Disney alum has entered a diverse range of career avenues apart from singer and acting, which includes entrepreneurship. 

The outlet compared Gomez’s financial success to Taylor Swift’s, who reached the billionaire status exclusively through her musical career.

Previously, the Lose You to Love Me hitmaker denied rumours regarding the sale of her beauty brand.

“I don’t have any plans on that, genuinely,” she told The Times earlier this year. “I will admit it overwhelms me sometimes. I have this weird thing in my head where if I focus on the numbers, I’ll lose whatever it is that made Rare Beauty Rare Beauty.”

Gomez concluded, “I never wanted it to be about making a lot of money and that’s it.”

The actress is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming Emilia Perez, which is slated to come out in early November.
