Angelina Jolie Interview For ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’
Dec 15th
Set against the backdrop of the Bosnian War that tore the Balkan region apart in the 1990s, ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’ tells the story of Danijel (Goran Kostić) and Ajla (Zana Marjanović), two people from different sides of a brutal ethnic conflict. Danijel, a soldier fighting for the Serbs, and Ajla, a Bosnian held captive in the camp he oversees, knew each other before the war, and could have found love with each other. But as the armed conflict takes hold of their lives, their relationship grows darker, their motives and connection to one another ambiguous, their allegiances uncertain. “In the Land of Blood and Honey” portrays the incredible emotional, moral and physical toll that the war exerts both on individuals and people as a whole, and the terrible consequences that stem from the lack of political will to intervene in a society stricken with conflict. Angelina Jolie directs from a script she wrote, Zana Marjanović, Goran Kostić, Rade Šerbedžija, Vanesa Glodjo and Nikola Djurićko star. ’In the Land of Blood and Honey’ is set for release December 23rd in the US.
What was it like for you developing this script?
Angelina Jolie: I sent it to lots of different people who either lived through the War, or who were correspondents through the War. And it got many, many different opinions from many different sides. That helped me start to really realise how complex the situation was – because if you send it to three different people, everybody has an extremely differing opinion. I really had to try and find that balance. So with that, I was listening to people from different sides, to try to construct something. It was never intentionally….at first it was to write a story that would be universal, a relationship that could have been a beautiful relationship, it could have ended in family and children, and happiness, love. To show what War does to that relationship. But then all these extraordinary people came in, all these extraordinary actors came in, they started to teach me about each of their roles, who they would be, why they would be the way they were, about their religions, about their history, about their culture. And then I kind of just kept absorbing their information and made adjustments.
