EUROVISION winner Celine DION

Don't go without me! The fabulous life of Celine DION

As a die-hard EUROVISION Song Contest fan, you obviously can't ignore this unauthorized film biography of Celine DION (here as: Aline DIEU). And director and leading actress Valerie LEMERCIER does her job impeccably. All of Celine's stations and poses are there. And the viewer now understands her unusual family (14 children in rural Quebec) better. Of course, there is also the triumph in Dublin when the still awkward Celine DION won the EUROVISION Song Contest for Switzerland in 1988: Ne partez pas sans moi!

The only thing that takes some getting used to is that LEMERCIER also embodies her beloved star as a child and teenager. It has something of the Hobbit style of Peter Jackson. But no matter, you get used to it! By the way, Victoria SIO provides the almost perfect singing. Your heart will go on, no matter how impressively the TITANIC sinks!

Wonderful tribute to the legendary EUROVISION winner from Quebec, Canada!
