PREVIEW SCREENING
SUN JAN 12, 4.00pm
In season JAN 16
Overqualified and undervalued, Rita is a lawyer at a large firm that is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice. One day, she is given an unexpected way out, when cartel leader Manitas hires her to help him withdraw from his business and realise a plan he has been secretly preparing for years: to become the woman he has always dreamt of being.
Packed with striking musical numbers and outstanding performances, Audiard’s maverick musical is a must-see and a major contender in the upcoming awards season.

“Exhilarating and exasperating.” – ROLLING STONE
