Alice Winocour is the writer and director behind the new film “Couture,” as the Toronto International Film Festival-bound drama takes place during Paris Fashion Week and stars Angelina Jolie, Ella Rumpf, Anyier Anei, and Louis Garrel in lead roles.
We can share two first-look images featuring the main cast with Jolie and Garrel in the first one and Rumpf and Anei in the other.
An official synopsis for “Couture”:
Set during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week, three women’s lives intersect in Paris, Maxine (Jolie), a filmmaker in her forties who discovers she has breast cancer and is drawn into an unexpected connection with a familiar collaborator (Garrel); Ada (Anei), a fresh face in modeling, escaping a predetermined future back home in South Sudan; and Angèle (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 honors the unspoken solidarity shared among these women across professions, cultures, and continents.
Some of the French filmmaker’s previous directorial efforts were “Paris Memories,” “Proxima,” “Disorder,” “Augustine,” and “Magic Paris.” A producing team assembled for the movie consists of Charles Gillibert, William Horberg, Jolie, Zhang Xin, alongside executive producer Bob Xu.
Pathé is set as a distributor, but we’re still in the dark about when it’ll be released overseas or domestically. We’ll likely learn a bit more about release dates once the movie makes its world premiere at TIFF next month.
