About the film
What it’s about
Maxine Walker, a New York filmmaker, lands in Paris to document the backstage of high fashion week. The production pulls her into a whirl of new acquaintances whose lives are far from glamorous. Her collaborator is Anton, a striking cinematographer, and their working bond soon turns intimate.
What hooks you
Alice Winocour directs Angelina Jolie as Maxine Walker and Louis Garrel as Anton. The shoot took place inside Chanel's exhibition hall and atelier in Paris, with the crew given access to fashion shows, backstage areas, and conversations with seamstresses and other staff. All logos were removed from the frame.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who like slow-building emotional tension between professionals, and those drawn to fashion settings that reveal the unglamorous lives behind the scenes.
