Céline Dion Revisits 'D'eux' in M6 30th-Anniversary Documentary Airing Wednesday

Fresh interviews trace how Jean-Jacques Goldman shaped the best-selling francophone album for her.

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.
