Curiosidades

Nelly is a 2016 Canadian biographical-drama film directed by Anne Émond and starring Mylène Mackay as Nelly Arcan, an award-winning Canadian author and former sex worker who committed suicide in 2009. The film is based on some of Arcan's own writings, including her book Putain.

Production

The film is a biopic of the deceased writer Nelly Arcan, starring Mylène Mackay. Producer Nicole Robert intended to make a film adaptation of Arcan's book Putain while Arcan was still alive, and obtained the rights in 2003.

Director Anne Émond said she had re-read Arcan's books on multiple occasions, desiring to make a film adaptation. Robert recommended to her that she direct the film about Arcan. Émond spent a year writing a 102-page screenplay, then opted to rewrite it. It was finished after two years. Given the subject matter of the books, Émond said she was not reluctant to depict nudity and sexual content.

To play the part, Mylène Mackay learned to adjust her physical movements and speech, as well as her hair. She did not meet Arcan's family. For the clothing, costume designer Patricia McNeil collaborated with Simon Bélanger and José Manuel St-Jacques of UNTTLD, drawing inspiration from Marilyn Monroe. The film was shot in various locations, including an apartment in Saint-Zotique, Quebec, with two days in Paris, on a budget of $4.1 million.
