After making a splash at the Cannes Film Festival, the critically-acclaimed musical drama, starring Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana, is being poised as one of Netflix's top Oscar contenders.

AceShowbiz - Netflix has released the trailer for Jacques Audiard's acclaimed Cannes-winning musical drama, "Emilia Perez." The film, which stars Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldana, Karla Sofia Gascon, and Adriana Paz, was one of the most talked-about films at the festival this year, winning the Jury Prize and the Best Actress award for all four leads.

"Emilia Perez" follows the stories of "four extraordinary women in Mexico, each striving for their own happiness. The formidable cartel leader Emilia (Gascon) enlists Rita (Saldana), an undervalued lawyer working a dead-end job, to help her fake her death so she can finally transition into her true self."

Critics have praised the film for its groundbreaking portrayal of gender identity and its powerful performances. Variety's Peter Debruge wrote, "Audiard's dazzling and thought-provoking film challenges stereotypes and emerges as a potent and unfiltered portrait of an individual who defies expectations."

"Emilia Perez" will have a limited theatrical release on November 1 before streaming on Netflix starting November 13. The film's release marks the beginning of Netflix's awards season campaign, with the company positioning it as one of its leading contenders for Oscar success.
