A short film financed by the public that parodies the most Oscar -nominated film this year will be screened in Mexican cinemas, while the local reaction against the French musical “Emilia Pérez” faces an amateur comedy with the film establishment.
“Emilia Pérez”, the story of a head of a Mexican cartel who recruits a lawyer to help him disappear and transform into a woman, obtained 13 Oscar nominations and swept the prestigious Cannes Festival and in the Golden Globes , among them the best non -English -speaking film.
However, the film has received strong criticisms in Mexico for its poor Spanish, the use of stereotypes, filming in Paris with few Mexican members in the cast and light treatment of the issue of forced disappearances -more than 100,000 people are missing in Mexico.
The director Jacques Audiard was also criticized for saying that he did not feel the need to investigate a lot to make the film, which premiered in Netflix at the end of last year.

“It is an honor to announce that on this way looking for more members of the ‘resist-daance,” he said.
