The Oscars are once again awarding cultural exploitation
By Tatianna Alvarado | February 18“Emilia Pérez” is a 2024 Spanish-language musical crime film written by non-Spanish speaking Frenchdirector Jacques Audiard. While the film was set in Mexico, it was filmed in France, as Audiard’s vision of Mexico didn’t match thereality of the country’s streets. This vision is of a stereotypical Mexico, centered around a cartel leader with the backdrop of street markets, deserts and that familiar sepia filter.
