22 Jan
Summary
- Angelina Jolie stars in 'Couture,' a film about women's quiet resilience.
- The film follows three women navigating life during Paris Fashion Week.
- Signature Entertainment acquired U.K. and Ireland rights to the film.
Angelina Jolie leads the cast in "Couture," a drama set amidst the intensity of Paris Fashion Week. The film, written and directed by Alice Winocour, explores the interconnected lives of three women, highlighting their inner strength and solidarity.
The narrative centers on Maxine, an American filmmaker who receives life-changing medical news. Her path unexpectedly crosses with Louis Garrel, a familiar collaborator. Meanwhile, Ada, a new model, seeks to escape a predetermined future from South Sudan, and Angèle, a makeup artist, operates in the periphery of the fashion shows.
"Couture" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and subsequently screened at the San Sebastian Film Festival. Director Alice Winocour emphasized that the film's core message is about solidarity among women, rather than fashion itself.
Signature Entertainment has secured the U.K. and Ireland distribution rights from HanWay Films. The film is scheduled for its U.K. premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival on February 26. The production was supported by various French entities, including Canal+, Ciné+, and France Télévisions.
