Nelly
2016 · Movie · 101 min. · Canada
A biopic of controversial Quebec writer Nelly Arcan, who scandalized the French literary world in 2001 with her semi-autobiographical novel "Putain (Whore)", detailing the life of a prostitute named Cynthia, the story was based on Arcan's own experience as a sex worker. The portrait of a fragmented woman, lost between irreconcilable identities: writer, lover, call girl and star. Several women in one, navigating between great exaltation and great disenchantment.
