This love story begins in 1992 in a small city in the eastern part of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Lejla and Danijel are a young couple in love, who get separated at the beginning of war activities. Danijels father is a stern high ranking officer of the Yugoslav Peoples Army and appoints his son to the post of commander of a POW camp. Danijels moral principles don’t allow him to accept this position, but he unwillingly yields under his fathers pressure.
By the stroke of destiny he meets Lejla again, but this time he is the camp commander and she is a prisoner there. Their relationship reaches a completely new dimension. Danijel is in an unenviable situation and tries to find the best solution, acceptable for all. The question is whether such a solution even exists.
Opens December 23. Trailer after the cut.

It doesn’t look terrible. I rather see the native language version though.

OSCAR POTENTIAL? Any reviews?

Looks stuning.
Dean Semler cinematography and Gabriel Yared score are amazing. The direction looks solid, and I would say this is an oscar contender.

This far exceeds any expectations I had for this film, which were nil.

I hope it will be shown in my country and in my city. English version is only for US? In my country all foreign movies have subtitles (except young children’s) and probably Serbian/Cloatian version will be chosen.

@JJ:
I totally agree with you, if there was someone else’s names like the two you’ve mentioned, (can I add Fincher???) most people will be giving this crazy hype… (not that I can blame them)
Why can’t we give other people the chance? Besides, the trailer looks promising and really good…

I agree with James Francis McAnderson – while it looks pretty enough and competently made, I didn’t get a sense of what the film is supposed to be about.
Apart from the central love story and the recurring atrocities of war we’re presented with, the trailer makes the narrative seem quite thin.
I wasn’t blown away at all by the trailer.

My expectations were low. I saw Jolie as director so assumed it would suck but the trailer makes it seem like it willbe pretty good. I will give it a chance.

How does this trailer look good? I still have no idea what this movie is about.

@Paddy M,
Really? I think if it was Eastwood or Spielberg behind the lens people would have been screaming “Best Picture” months ago. If anything Jolie’s name is a potential liability.

I’m so looking forward to this. For a first time director I like Jolie’s attitude. Go big or go home.

It doesn’t look particularly remarkable. Alright, maybe, but nothing special. If this wasn’t directed by Angelina Jolie, I doubt people would be so interested, sight unseen. Then again, maybe that’s the point. She’s not trying to make too big a splash, too big a statement, blow tens of millions of dollars on some potential stinker.

Trailers can be deceiving, but it’ll be interesting to see what Jolie has accomplished.

^Nevermind, I just checked IMDB and no it is not.

Wow, this actually looks pretty fantastic! I’m very impressed by the trailer and now I’m looking very forward to this one.
Also, I’m not sure, but is the lead actress in this the same actress who played Eric Bana’s wife in ‘Munich’? I could be wrong, but she looks very familiar.

I’ll have to admit that my expectations were really low for a film made by Jolie, but this is a really good trailer.

I’ve been anticipating this for so long. It looks very, very good. It almost has a “The Lives of Others” vibe to it, maybe she learned something from von Donnersmarck on “The Tourist”.
