The first trailer has landed online for Couture, the French drama from writer-director Alice Winocour (Proxima, Paris Memories).
The film follows three women on a journey of resilience and self-reflection – Maxine (Angelina Jolie), a filmmaker who was recently diagnosed with cancer, Ada (Anyier Anei), a young woman new to the modelling world, and Angele (Ella Rumpf), a make-up artist, as their paths cross during Paris Fashion Week.
Joining Jolie, Anei, and Rumpf in the cast are Louis Garrel and Vincent Lindon. Watch the trailer below…
Set during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week, three women’s lives intersect: Maxine (Angelina Jolie), a filmmaker who discovers she has breast cancer and is drawn into an unexpected connection with a familiar collaborator (Louis Garrel); Ada (Anyier Anei), a fresh face in modeling, escaping a predetermined future back home in South Sudan; and Angèle (Ella Rumpf), a makeup artist working in the shadows of the catwalks.
As their paths cross, the film reveals the quiet resilience beneath the surface of public performance and honours the unspoken solidarity shared among these women across professions, cultures, and continents.
Couture premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this past September is is expected to release soon.
