But who does Celine Dion play?

A biopic about Celine Dion
At the same time, a film about Celine Dion will soon be released. Directed by Valérie Lemercier, this feature-length film inspired by Celine Dion’s life will tell the story of a Canadian musician who, over time, gradually rises to international fame before the death of her husband.
This film, which is not strictly speaking a ‘biopic about Celine Dion,’ will be about a woman named Aline. Lemercier in 2017 confided to Le Parisien that she was ‘fascinated by her voice, but also by Celine Dion's destiny.’
Sounds promising!
