The movie "Johanne Sacrebleu" has been acclaimed at various international film festivals and its arrival in theaters in Mexico has generated controversy due to its themes. The film, starring Karla Sofía Gascón, was born as a response to the controversy generated by the movie "Emilia Pérez" and has been well received by the audience.
The profits generated from the screening of "Johanne Sacrebleu" in theaters will be donated to specialized associations and committees of mother searchers. The film is already available on YouTube and has garnered over 2 million views in just two weeks, sparking significant interest among the audience.
The short film will premiere on the big screen on February 14 through the Cinedot chain. In light of the success and anticipation it has generated, the Mexican cinema chain has announced that all profits obtained from the screening of the film will be allocated to specialized organizations.
Regarding the controversy, the director of the film "Emilia Pérez" has been accused of plagiarism, as some scenes in the film are similar to those in the documentary "Made in Bangkok" by Flavio Florencio. The latter has expressed his concern about the situation, questioning whether it is merely a coincidence or a copy of his project without giving credit.
"The similarities are obvious. The director himself admitted to not having researched much because he was not making a documentary, but rather an opera," Flavio Florencio commented about the coincidences between both productions.
