Stitches, Alice Winocour’s film with Angelina Jolie will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival
A few years after the release of the drama Paris Memories (2022), centred on an attack in a brasserie and carried by the brilliant Virginie Efira, French director Alice Winocour’s upcoming feature is taking shape… And it has now been confirmed that it will premiere at the 2025 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival next September.
The media Deadline has unveiled the first details. First, the storyline will unfold in the universe of Parisian haute couture. Second, Stitches will probably tell the story of three women. The Fashion Week being the place where their lives intersect.
One of them, a filmmaker, will be played by American star Angelina Jolie. The film’s production marks another chapter in the actress’s relationship with the French capital. She recently portrayed Maria Callas in the biopic Maria (2024), shot in Paris and widely acclaimed at the Venice Film Festival.
Louis Garrel and Garance Marillier join the cast
The director of Maryland (2015) has a knack for surrounding herself with exceptional actresses, from Eva Green in Proxima (2019) to Virginie Efira. Alice Winocour’s decision to work with an American star follows a current trend. Coralie Fargeat cast Demi Moore in The Substance, and Mélanie Laurent will direct The Mother with Michelle Yeoh.
Louis Garrel will star alongside Angelina Jolie. Ella Rumpf, Garance Marillier (Raw, Titane), Anyier Anei and Finnegan Oldfield will join them. Just like other of Alice Winocour’s previous projects – Proxima (2019) – the film will be shot in both French and English.
The film Stitches (2025) by Alice Winocour, starring Angelina Jolie and Garance Marillier, will come out on October 15th, 2025, and will be presented in competition at the Toronto International Film Festival.
