Overview
- M6 will broadcast the documentary on Wednesday, September 3, at 21:10, featuring new material recorded in May 2025.
- The program recounts how Jean-Jacques Goldman wrote the album specifically for Dion, which has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide.
- Dion recalls first meeting Goldman at Paris restaurant Chez Pauline, with Goldman arriving by bicycle before later presenting demos that moved her and René Angélil to tears.
- Sessions under musical director Erick Benzi saw Goldman ask Dion to hold back her power, “déchanter,” and avoid rolling her R’s, with the twelve tracks recorded in a matter of days.
- The film situates the album’s enduring songs, including “Pour que tu m’aimes encore” and “J’irai où tu iras,” alongside Dion’s 2024 public appearances, from a candid illness documentary to her Eiffel Tower performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
