EMILIA PEREZ is a deeply odd and sporadically successful film from French auteur Jacques Audiard ( A PROPHET, DHEEPAN ). It comes to London having won the coveted Cannes Jury Prize and Best Actress for its female cast featuring Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana. It features a story and characters rarely centred on screen. Some of the musical numbers are stunning. But I found myself over-stuffed, confused and adrift. [ MP3 ] Download or play this episode directly [Archive ] View this episode’s page on...
