Angelina Jolie Releases First Trailer for New Film 'Couture', Showcasing Emotional Depth in French

Angelina Jolie has unveiled the first trailer for her upcoming film 'Couture', which highlights her ability to speak French, adding a realistic and emotional layer to her character.

The film is set against the backdrop of Paris Fashion Week, where Jolie portrays a film director navigating a pivotal moment in her life, marked by a divorce and a breast cancer diagnosis. The trailer features poignant scenes that showcase Jolie switching between English and French, reflecting a strong emotional connection to the film's narrative.

A Personal Story for Angelina Jolie

The 50-year-old actress has openly discussed her personal ties to the film's themes. Jolie lost her mother to breast and ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56. In 2013, she underwent a preventive double mastectomy after being informed of her high risk for the disease.

In a December interview with "Time France", Jolie described the film as "a very personal story for me," noting her surgical scars visible on the magazine cover. She expressed, "I felt an immediate deep connection to the character in 'Couture', and the director Alice Winocour's approach to illness is unique."

Life in the Face of Illness

Jolie emphasized that the film does not solely focus on grief but rather examines illness from a more human perspective, stating, "Difficulties and illnesses are part of our existence, but what matters is how we face them. What helps us overcome these challenging times is life itself."
