MELBOURNE PREMIERE: Friday November 29, 6.40pm & 7pm. Join us for a night of music, margaritas and the Mexican musical thriller that took Cannes by storm! In collaboration with Kismet. Your ticket includes a drink on arrival and after-party in the Nova Bar.

Jacques Audiard (A Prophet, Rust & Bone) directs Cannes Best Actress winners Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, and Karla Sofía Gascón in the musical thriller that took the festival season by storm - EMILIA PÉREZ. 

Lawyer Rita Moro Castro (Saldaña) has made a career of protecting corrupt politicians and criminals but has little to show for it. Contacted by representatives of a cartel boss, Castro finds herself confronted by the notorious Manitas Del Monte (Gascón) and an unexpected proposition: help Del Monte fake their death, coordinate compensation for widow Jessi (Gomez) and help the outlaw build an entirely new life.

Packed with striking musical numbers and outstanding performances, Audiard’s maverick musical is a must-see and a major contender in the upcoming awards season.
