What happens

Johanne Sacreblu is a 2025 Mexican comedy musical short film directed by filmmaker Camila Aurora and written by Héctor Guillén, created as a protest against the French film Emilia Pérez. The film premiered on YouTube in January 2025 and makes use of elements stereotypically associated with French culture, such as mimes, croissants, baguettes, and rats; it also features attire including berets, striped clothing, and thin mustaches, as a parody of the simplistic way in which director Jacques Audiard portrayed Mexican culture in Emilia Pérez.
