Angelina Jolie Unveils Trailer for New Film 'Couture' Featuring French Dialogue and a Personal Narrative

Angelina Jolie has released the first trailer for her upcoming film 'Couture', showcasing her ability to speak French and highlighting the film's deeply human narrative.

The story of 'Couture' unfolds during Paris Fashion Week, where Jolie plays a film director facing pivotal moments in her life, including a divorce and a breast cancer diagnosis. The trailer features poignant scenes in which Jolie switches between English and French, conveying a strong emotional connection to her character's journey.

A Personal Connection for Angelina Jolie

At 50, Jolie has openly discussed her emotional ties to the film's subject matter. She lost her mother to breast and ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56, and Jolie herself underwent a preventive double mastectomy in 2013 after discovering a high risk of developing the disease.

In an interview with "Time France" last December, Jolie described the film as "very personal," noting the surgical scars visible on the magazine's cover. She expressed an immediate connection to her character in 'Couture' and praised director Alice Winocour's unique approach to the theme of illness.

Life Amidst Illness

Jolie emphasized that the film does not solely focus on sadness but presents illness from a different human perspective. She stated, "Challenges and illnesses are part of our existence, but what matters most is how we confront them. What helps us overcome these difficult moments is life itself."
