The big winner
Automatically saved draft
The unusual genre mix "Emilia Pérez" by French director Jacques Audiard is the big winner of the 37th European Film Awards.
The narco-transmusical was not only honored as the best film of the year in the evening in Lucerne, Switzerland. Audiard also received the trophy for best director and screenwriter.
Leading actress Karla Sofía Gascón was honored as best actress.
What the film is about: Top lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) sinks into a criminal quagmire - until cartel boss Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón) hires her for his radical exit. His goal: transformation into a woman and a new life as Emilia Pérez.
The tough lawyer is to fake his murder, time the operation for the sex change he wants - and bring his wife and children to Switzerland. Money is no object ...
The award for best actor went to Abou Sangare from Guinea for the drama "Souleymane's Story". And in the documentary category, the controversial work "No Other Land" by the Palestinian film collective Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor, Basel Adra and Hamdan Ballal, which caused uproar and accusations of anti-Semitism at the Berlinale in February, came out on top.
