Angelina Jolie is back on the big screen, with perhaps her most vulnerable and delicate performances to date, in “Couture.” It sauntered into cinemas across the Kingdom in early July, coinciding with Paris Haute Couture Week, after premiering last year at the Toronto International Film Festival and earlier this year in France, then the US. Directed by Alice Winocour, Jolie plays US-based Maxine Walker, who takes a freelance job in France directing a horror film during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week.
