Emilia Pérez by Jacques Audiard By god, Jacques Audiard just doesn’t cease to impress, filming a gem after gem after gem, and for two decades already - his sense of story, style, rhythm, cast, music, all impeccable and breathtaking. Emilia Pérez made me think whether I should reconsider my (typically snobbish) disregard for the Academy Awards - this is a rare moment when I’m in absolute approval of the swarm of Oscar nominations this movie received. Let’s see what it gets in the end though. I could never imagine those academics to have much style - and I hope they did look at the film’s numerous merits and didn’t just follow the DEI policy manual (especially given that this guidebook is being discontinued in the US of A of newly released vintage 2025). Don’t get me wrong, real art should be above right wing sanctimony and puritanism, as well as above radical wokeness and bigotry by liberal DEI hawks. Art supersedes policy. Say, despite me leaning towards conservative beliefs and values, I can wholeheartedly confess my undying admiration for Laurence Anyways, another perennial masterpiece about gender transition. Bravo, Jacques Audiard! And bravo Zoe Saldaña, though I honestly can’t understand why she is nominated for the supporting actress and not the lead. If she’s not the lead, then I dunno who is. Encore!
