She plays Maxine Walker, an American film director facing divorce and a serious illness while navigating Paris Fashion Week and embarking on a romance with a colleague, played by French actor Louis Garrel.<\/p>\n
The Oscar-winning actor \u2013 honoured in 1999 for her role in Girl, Interrupted \u2013 said she related personally to the struggles of her latest character.<\/p>\n
Jolie underwent a double mastectomy in 2013 and later had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to reduce her high genetic risk of cancer, which claimed the lives of her mother and grandmother.<\/p>\n
Visibly moved, she said she thought often of her mother while making the film.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish she was able to speak more as openly as I have been, and have people respond as graciously as you have, and not feel as alone,\u201d Jolie said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something very particular to women\u2019s cancers, because obviously it affects us, you know, how we feel as women,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
