Episode 401: Emilia Perez-I'm Still Here

Josh is joined by both Daniel Lima and Arjun Kaul to complete The Rewind's coverage of 2024 Best Picture nominees as they convene for a double feature. First, they discuss "Emilia Pérez" (Beginning-41:55) and if the story of a cartel leader going through a gender transition was handled with appropriate sensitivity to the issues it covered, if it really needed to be a musical, the performances and the controversy surrounding lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón. Then, they talk about "I'm Still Here" (41:56-End) including how the film did in creating the feeling of living under Brazil's 20th century military dictatorship, if the storytelling decisions caused the film to lose momentum in what is a harrowing story and much more! Editing and Produced by Daniel Lima.
