The promotional trailer of Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut, In The Land Of Blood And Honey, hit theatres recently, giving a glimpse of the movie about love and violence in war-torn Bosnia. Juxtaposing romantic scenes with tense footage of warfare, the film’s trailer outlines a love story between a Serbian man and a Bosnian-Muslim woman who are forced apart in the 1992 Bosnian conflicts. The words “Love can change what we want” and “War can change who we are” emerge near the end.
The movie sparked controversy in Bosnia in October a year ago when Jolie was shooting the film. The head of a group of female war victims objected to the movie because, she said, it was about a woman falling in love with her enemy, and a government minister cancelled a permit for the shoot. At the time, the actress asked people to withhold judgment until the movie was finished and they could see the final version.
“There are many twists in the plot that address the sensitive nature of the relationship between the main characters and that will be revealed once the film is released,” the Oscar-winning actress said last year. The film marks Jolie’s directorial debut and she has also penned the script. Newcomers Zana Marjanovic and Goran Kostic play the star-crossed lovers against a backdrop of guns and explosions. Jolie has said she cast unknown Bosnian actors to tell the story authentically. She also chose to shoot scenes simultaneously in the English and Serbo-Croat languages, so that two versions of the film will be released. In The Land Of Blood And Honey is set for release in U.S on December 23.
