Overview
- The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 7, introducing a story about an American director facing a serious diagnosis during Paris Fashion Week and a divorce.
- During the post‑screening Q&A, Jolie became tearful and recalled her late mother’s remark that people spoke only about cancer, encouraging audiences to see patients as whole people.
- On the red carpet, she said, “I’m 50 now; my mother and grandmother by this age were in chemo,” framing the project as a reflection on hope after her 2013 preventive double mastectomy.
- Couture is directed by Alice Winocour and stars Louis Garrel, Ella Rumpf, Anyier Anei, and Vincent Lindon, with Jolie speaking substantial French throughout.
- A general release date has not been announced, and one outlet reported the production filmed inside Chanel’s Paris showroom and atelier.
