AroView: A bilingual Angelina Jolie stars in this evocative, under-rated drama set during the glamour and clamour of Paris Fashion week.

Hired to direct a high-concept promotional video, Jolie plays a hip American film-maker who finds herself caught between professional and personal responsibility, her narrative shared with a young Sudanese model and a make-up artist with writing aspirations. Widening its focus on a cohort of fashionistas, it’s a film that bustles with life in the hands of writer-director Alice Winocour (Paris Memories), who’s interested in capturing a scene as much as telling a story.

“Alice Winocour’s captivating fashion drama Couture is a quiet, observational picture about creative women finding solace in one another.” ~Robert Daniels, Screen Daily

“There’s a spellbinding quality to Winocour’s direction; she glides from one woman’s perspective to the next somewhat obliquely. In doing so, she unearths gems of inner conflict…” ~Nadia Dalimonte, Next Best Picture
