An international trailer for the Paris Fashion Week drama “Couture” has made its way online, with main roles in the pic, written and directed by Alice Winocour, played by Angelina Jolie, Anyier Anei, Louis Garrel, and Ella Rumpf.
This trailer is part of the promotion for its grand debut next month in commercial theaters; the Paris-set movie fittingly arrives in France first, as audiences in other countries will have to wait a little longer for their chance to experience it for themselves. Winocour’s latest effort was the first fictional film allowed to be shot inside Chanel‘s Paris showroom and atelier, quite the impressive feat.

The film’s official synopsis, courtesy of HanWay Films:
Set during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week, three women’s lives intersect: Maxine (Jolie), a filmmaker 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 honours the unspoken solidarity shared among these women across professions, cultures, and continents.
Last year, The Playlist reviewed the drama during our Toronto International Film Festival coverage, and you can read that right here.
The new international trailer for “Couture” can be viewed below, as it heads to French cinemas on February 18, and we patiently wait for news when it’ll arrive in U.S. theaters.
