A love story set against the backdrop of the Bosnian war is provoking strong reactions from movie-goers and critics.

The directorial debut by actress Angelina Jolie sparked controversy even before filming began.

In The Land of Blood and Honey premiered in Sarajevo, the city torn apart by the war, on Thursday.

The film tells the story of love between Danijel, a Serb, and Ajla, a Bosnian Muslim he knew before the war.

Al Jazeera's Simon McGregor-Wood has more on the film's debut before the audience that lived through the war.

  • Please stop the hateful comments....this film should contribute to forgiveness and understanding. Muslims, Christains, jews, chinese, Africans...are just humans. We are all the same, God damn it. Please stop the hate.

  • I'm looking forward to seeing this.

    Angelina Jolie is a talented genius, so I'm not surprised by the widespread critical praise she's been receiving.

  • @DerAnhalterXYZ This movie caused even more hate between religions. Why didnt Angie shoot a movie about her countrymen killing millions in Iraq. Why make a movie about something that she has no clue about? America killed millions of Muslims and she makes a movie about "8000" that died here. Pathetic and idiotic.
