Vertical has acquired North American rights to the fashion-world drama, Couture.

A theatrical release for the film starring Angelina Jolie (Maria) and Louis Garrel (Little Women) is planned for later in the year.

Couture also stars Garance Marillier (Titane), Finnegan Oldfield (Alpha), and Vincent Lindon (The Measure of a Man).

Couture is set during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week, where three women’s lives intersect: Maxine (Jolie), a filmmaker who discovers she has breast cancer and is drawn into a love story with a familiar collaborator (Garrel); Ada (newcomer Anyier Anei), a fresh face in modeling, escaping a predetermined future back home in South Sudan; and Angèle (Raw‘s Ella Rumpf), a makeup artist working in the shadows of the catwalks. As their paths cross, the film reveals the resilience beneath the surface of public performance and honors the solidarity shared among these women across professions, cultures, and continents.

Alice Winocour is the film’s writer and director.

The film was produced by Charles Gillibert of CG Cinéma, Zhang Xin of Closer Media, William Horberg, and Jolie, and was executive produced by Bob Xu, Benjamin Hess, and Luc Bricault. 

Deadline first reported on the acquisition.
