Cannes International Film Festival 2024 Jury Prize Best Actress Award An overqualified Mexican lawyer working for a big firm, Rita (Zoe Saldana – Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy) receives a surprising offer from the feared leader of a local cartel, Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón): he asks her to help him close his shady cases so that she can retire and finally become the woman she always wanted to be. Jacques Audiard, a regular at the Cannes International Film Festival and winner of the Palme d'Or (Dheepan) and the Jury Prize (The Prophet), is his most surprising film to date, a ruthless gangster film, a crazy comedy and an extravagant musical at the same time. Emilia Perez brought Audiard the Jury Prize again. Premiere: February 27.
