But in her latest film, “Emilia Pérez,” she takes on her most daring role yet. Directed by Jacques Audiard, the film pushes her to new heights as an actress.&quot;I read the script and I felt like it was a very wild and audacious script,&quot; said Gomez. &quot;Jessi, my character, I just resonated with her. She&#x27;s everything I&#x27;m not, but I love how fierce she loves and how deep she does.The actress added: &quot;I feel so lucky that Jacques believed in me and saw something in me, and hopefully, this is just the beginning.&quot;Gomez&#x27;s performance as Jessi was also a new challenge for her, as the film is entirely in Spanish.&quot;I was very vulnerable, and it was wonderful though at the same time, and I felt very proud,&quot; she said.“Emilia Pérez” is a genre-bending film that explores themes like love, redemption, and identity. It also marks a turning point in Gomez&#x27;s career.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732719108230_39A6099_E7AJgoue.JPG" style="width:707px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Selina Gomez is Jessi del Monte in &quot;Emilia Pérez.&quot; (Courtesy: Netflix &quot;Emilia Pérez&quot;)"/>Selina Gomez is Jessi del Monte in &quot;Emilia Pérez.&quot; (Courtesy: Netflix &quot;Emilia Pérez&quot;)</div>&quot;As an actor, I haven&#x27;t even had the chance to do all the things I want to do,&quot; Gomez said on how personal growth and challenges shaped the kind of projects she is drawn to. &quot;I&#x27;m excited because I feel like there&#x27;s still so much more I can do. And if anything, this is a testament to the kind of work I&#x27;m interested in. I hope to continue to make more moving, compelling stories.&quot;Edgar Ramirez, who co-stars in the film, shared his thoughts on what makes this project so unique.“The movie touches upon so many different themes,&quot; he said. &quot;The narco world to transness issues – all of that together in a movie that the final result was a very moving, very touching story.&quot;He added: &quot;It’s a very risky film also in the fact that so many genres are being explored and mixed together.”“Emilia Pérez” is now streaming on Netflix.
