Loss of mom inspires Jolie鈥檚 new movie
Print Edition
Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and husband Brad Pitt were all smiles at the world premiere of 鈥淏y the Sea,鈥 her latest directorial outing and their first on-screen pairing in a decade.
The much anticipated movie, which had its official opening at the American Film Institute festival late on Thursday, is an intimate drama about a married couple in the 1970s whose relationship is verging on collapse.
鈥淲e are so honored to be here and open the AFI, we did our best, we tried to be honest, to give ourselves out,鈥 Jolie, 40, said after her dramatic red carpet entry along with Pitt, 51.
鈥淭his movie is inspired by grief and by the loss of my mother, but in the end it鈥檚 also about how you surpass it.鈥
At the presentation the AFI organizers paid homage to Jolie鈥檚 mother, Marcheline Bertrand, an actress and producer who died in 2007 and was an AFI member for three decades.
This is only the second time that Jolie, whose movies include 鈥淟ara Croft: Tomb Raider鈥 (2001) and 鈥淢aleficent鈥 (2014), has starred alongside her husband. The couple, nicknamed 鈥淏rangelina,鈥 appeared together in the action-comedy movie 鈥淢r and Mrs Smith鈥 (2005).
The glamorous duo shot 鈥淏y the Sea鈥 during their honeymoon in Malta last year 鈥 the first time Jolie has directed Pitt in a movie role.
In the film, Pitt plays an alcoholic writer lacking inspiration, while Jolie is a depressed former dancer who still dresses up as if she were about to go on stage.
The New York couple try to find some inspiration at a French seaside hotel, where meeting a newly-wed couple helps rekindle their love of life.
