Angelina Jolie Unveils Trailer for New Film 'Couture', Explores Personal Struggles

Angelina Jolie has released the first trailer for her upcoming film, 'Couture', which delves into profound humanitarian themes and showcases her proficiency in French, enhancing the emotional depth of her character.

The narrative unfolds during Paris Fashion Week, where Jolie portrays a film director navigating a significant life transition, grappling with the challenges of divorce and a breast cancer diagnosis. The trailer features moving moments as Jolie alternates between English and French, conveying a strong emotional resonance with the film's storyline.

A Personal Connection to the Narrative

At 50, Jolie has expressed a deep emotional tie to the film's themes. She lost her mother to breast and ovarian cancer in 2007 and underwent a preventive double mastectomy in 2013 after learning of her heightened risk for the disease.

In an interview with "Time France" last December, Jolie described the film as "a very personal story," referencing her surgical scars featured on the magazine's cover. She noted, "I felt an immediate connection with the character in 'Couture', and director Alice Winocour's unique approach to depicting illness resonated with me."

Facing Life's Challenges

Jolie emphasized that 'Couture' is not merely a tale of sorrow but instead offers a humanitarian perspective on illness. She stated, "Difficulties and illnesses are part of our existence, but how we confront them is what truly matters. It is life itself that helps us navigate through tough times."
