Directed by Mariloup Wolfe (Jouliks) from a screenplay by Marie Vien (La passion d’Augustine), this dramatic comedy takes us behind the scenes of the National Assembly where a young woman (Maripier Morin) is given the post of Minister of Culture in order to rejuvenate the image of the government. Gilbert Sicotte, David La Haye, Paul Ahmarani, Benoît Brière and Anne Casabonne are also part of the cast.
Arlette will mark a return to the big screen for Maripier Morin, four years after the release of The Fall of the American Empire, Denys Arcand’s most recent film in which she starred alongside Alexandre Landry.
It will also be a return to the spotlight for the actress and host who has kept a low profile since being targeted by allegations of sexual harassment and physical assault made by Safia Nolin in July 2020 After taking a break from work during which she notably admitted to having had problems with alcohol and cocaine addiction, Maripier Morin made a rare public appearance last fall, on the red carpet of the premiere of the Aline movie.
She announced last week that she will soon become a mother and will give birth to her first child towards the end of the month.
