Angelina Jolie's 'In The Land Of Blood And Honey' To Have A Low-Key Opening In Serbia

BELGRADE, Serbia — The distributor in Serbia of Angelina Jolie's directorial debut – a love story set in the Bosnian war – says the movie will start showing here next week, but without the red-carpet premiere it had in Bosnia. Zoran Savic of Millennium Film says "the movie will be shown normally, so whoever wants to see it will have a chance to do so." Jolie's "In the Land of Blood and Honey" has triggered outrage among Serbs, who claim it depicts them as the only villains of the 1992-95 Bosnian war. The drama about a Serb soldier who finds his ex-lover, a Muslim Bosnian woman, among sex slaves in a camp, received a standing ovation at the Sarajevo screening Tuesday. Jolie also will attend the premiere in Croatia on Friday.
