The ongoing controversy surrounding the France-filmed Emilia Pérez, which leads this year’s Oscars nominations with 13 total nods, has led to the release of a Mexican short film that playfully flips the script in direct response to the lack of Mexican actors and crew members in Emilia Pérez. Titled Johanne Sacreblu, the short, helmed by Mexican trans woman Camila D. Aurora (a.k.a. Camiileo), spans 28 minutes and has become something of a hit on Letterboxd, where it’s been logged as watched by nearly 18,000 users as of this writing. In terms of reviews on the platform, its current weighted average rests at 4.6 after just over 16,000 ratings. The film is notably about France, the home country of Emilia Pérez director Jacques Audiard, but was made in Mexico, and only stars Mexican performers.
