Angelina Jolie is back on the big screen, with perhaps her most vulnerable and delicate performances to date, in “Couture.”
It sauntered into cinemas across the Kingdom in early July, coinciding with Paris Haute Couture Week, after premiering last year at the Toronto International Film Festival and earlier this year in France, then the US.
Directed by Alice Winocour, Jolie plays US-based Maxine Walker, who takes a freelance job in France directing a horror film during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week.
Upon arriving in the French capital, while engulfed in a flood of work and fake fog, Maxine receives an unexpected call that causes her to experience real-life-horror —something so many women receive every day — a diagnosis of breast cancer.
She has to choose between chasing her biggest career break to date and with prioritizing her own private battle through fighting a devastating disease.
