In the Land of Blood and Honey

Screenwriter: Angelina Jolie
Genre: Drama, Romance, War

Starring: Zana Marjanović, Goran Kostić, Rade Serbedzija, Vanesa Glodjo, Nikola Djurićko

Plot Summary: 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.

Sounds like a riveting movie. I've served there several times and have seen the brutal results of this nasty war. I'd like to see this.

I rented this out recently. I thought it was a very good movie - riveting is the right term.

It keeps your attention throughout without any of the gratuitous stuff they throw into movies these days (ie, no loud music, car chases, explosions, etc).

Not your typical love story!

You thought Blood Diamond was boring? I thought that was a great movie. But yes, this one is even slower paced, lol

I watched maybe 30 minutes of blood diamond and passed out. Guess its just not my thing.

I also did this to hangover 2 and bridesmaids lately. Bridesmaids was way too long and hangover two was hangover one with different words.
