‘Without Blood’ Author Says Angelina Jolie Made “Characters I Had Imagined Come To Life”; Filmmaker Says “He Was Almost Challenging Me” – TIFF
'Without Blood' author Alessandro Baricco says Angelina Jolie made "Characters I Had Imagined Come To Life". Jolie says that the author was challenging her.
The movie follows a grown woman who comes face-to-face with her father and her brother’s murderer, now much older, the two intelligently hashing out and making sense of the atrocity (played respectively by Salma Hayek and Demián Bichir). Meeting Angelina was exciting but most of all it was great for me to spend time with her talking about the book, of which she is an intelligent and passionate reader. Prior to last night’s screening, Jolie received the TIFF Tribute Award for Impact Media in which she emphasized, “After pushing for basic human rights for all people, only to see the reality worsen for so many, I feel a part of the failure of the system.” However, Jolie ended her speech underscoring how world cinema provides a dialogue and an empathy among us.
