Angelina Jolie had 'breakdown' making 'In the Land of Blood and Honey'

Angelina Jolie says that she had "complete meltdown" while shooting her directorial debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," a love story set during the Bosnian War.

In an online chat airing on the website LiveStream.com, Jolie fielded questions about the movie, which recently received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, along with Vanessa Glodjo, a Sarajevan actress who co-stars in it. During the question and answer session, Jolie reveals that she felt an emotional surge while making the movie, which explores the theme of violence during war.
"I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower," says Jolie of one of her lowest moments. "Brad [Pitt] found me just crying. I suddenly felt the responsibility and I felt very small and, who am I to take this on? And think that I could make a difference? What have I done? ... I had a complete meltdown."

When asked why it was important for her to tell a story about the Bosnian War, Jolie replied, "How could it not be?"

She continued, "It is a war that happened in our generation, to our generation. Vanessa herself was trapped inside the siege for almost four years. There were rape camps and concentration camps. It was such a horrible time in our history and it was relatively ignored by the international community. It's something we should all revisit so we make sure it does not happen again."

Later, Jolie shared where she was during the war, which took place from 1992 to 1995.

"I knew very little, like most Americans," she said. "I was 17 so I was not very focused. ... I was my own form of self-destructive, and it was a bad time."

Jolie recently talked more about her "heavy, darker times" in an interview with "20/20" in November, saying that she felt "lucky" to be alive after her wild teenage and 20-something years. Jolie has confessed to experimenting with drugs, and has talked about suffering bouts of depression, during which she would contemplate suicide and cut herself.

But a lighter moment in last night's online chat came when Jolie's oldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, wrote his mom with a question.

"Maddox, hi honey," said Jolie beaming, before reading his question out loud. "What is your favorite scene in the movie?

Jolie answers, "My favorite scene in the movie is when the sisters are reunited. It's one of the few happier moments."

Angelina Jolie to appear in live Q&A session for 'In The Land of Blood and Honey'

Angelina Jolie is opening up to fans in a live Q&A session for her directorial debut "In The Land of Blood and Honey," set to take place on January 12 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. The session, which is interactive, can be seen below.

The film was released in select cities in the United States on December 23 and will be released in several other cities like Dallas, Charlotte, Phoenix and Denver on January 13."In The Land of Blood and Honey" depicts a romance between a Bosnian woman and Serbian man during the Bosnia war in the 1990s. It stars actors Zana Marjanovic and Goran Kostic. Jolie does not appear in the film.

The movie is nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. The 2012 ceremony takes place on January 15.

Jolie, who is known for her global humanitarian efforts as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, also wrote the film's screenplay and says she took on the project because she was personally interested in the subject matter.

When asked if she planned on directing more projects, the actress told OnTheRedCarpet.com host Chris Balish and other reporters at the 2012 Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 7 that she is open to the idea.

"I'm still so shy to even consider myself a writer-director," Jolie said. "But I think I'm so driven by something I care about it. So it'd have to be that - if something comes my way and I'd just feel so compelled to tell it, then I think I just might jump in, but I'm still shy."

The actress, who won an Oscar for her role as a mental patient in the 1999 movie "Girl, Interrupted," served as the film's director and will take questions from fans during the interactive session.

Angelina Jolie: I had a meltdown

Angelina Jolie has admitted she had an “emotional breakdown” while she was shooting her directorial debut.

The Hollywood A-lister revealed her partner Brad Pitt found her sobbing in the shower while she was making In The Land Of Blood And Honey, which is up for a Golden Globe this weekend.

The 36-year-old Salt star said during a live video web chat with Marie Claire: “I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad found me crying. I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small. ‘Who am I to take this on?’ I had a complete meltdown.”Angelina, who has a brood of six children with Tree Of Life actor Brad, said becoming a director wasn’t part of her plan but the story – a romance set against the backdrop of the Bosnian war – was one she really wanted to tell.

“I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up by default being the director,” she said.

She added: “I didn’t plan to become a director, and I still have trouble saying I’m a director.”

In The Land Of Blood And Honey – which Angelina also wrote – has been nominated in the Best Foreign Language category at the Golden Globes.

It has been reported that Angelina and Brad will also be presenting a gong at the glitzy ceremony on Sunday.
