Ema

Ema (2019) is a Chilean drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Pablo Larraín and starring Mariana Di Girolamo alongside Gael García Bernal. Ema dances with a reggaeton troupe in Valparaíso. Her husband Gastón is the company's choreographer. They gave back their adopted child, Polo, and neither of them is telling the whole truth about why.

Gastón blames Ema. Ema refuses the blame. The marriage disintegrates into a cold, exhausting war — until Ema stops arguing and starts moving. What follows is a methodical, quietly surreal plan to get Polo back, carried out through seduction, arson and a reshaping of everyone around her. The film doesn't judge her. It watches.

Larraín shot to a score by Nicolás Jaar, and the reggaeton running through the film isn't decoration — it's a grammar of desire and control. Di Girolamo holds every scene, playing someone impossible to read and impossible to ignore. Stream Ema (2019) in full on iFILM.
