IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY

I finally managed to catch this film written and directed by Angelina Jolie yesterday in between gym and Improv class.  A  fine screenplay, extremely believable acting and impressive cinematography.  A harrowing story of the unbelievable cruelty Bosnians and Muslims experienced in the 1990's at the hands of the Serbians.  Think Hitler/Nazis and gut wrenching debasement of women.  Public and mortifying rapes.  Rape used as a weapon.  Just finishing up SEEFEST series at Austin Film Society and then seeing this film has sufficiently educated me to the horrors that occurred in this part of the world.  The ultimate response when asked about this film is that it is thoroughly depressing and left me with a cloud of sadness about the world we live in.  Abe passed it up.  He's sufficiently effected by Holocaust events and chooses not to revisit them.
