Angelina Jolie’s new film Without Blood has sparked speculation that its themes of trauma, healing and survival may reflect her own life after her highly publicised split from Brad Pitt.
Jolie wrote and directed the war drama, starring Salma Hayek and Demián Bichir. Speaking about the film, she said it is for people seeking “answers and healing after trauma” and exploring the idea that people often “return to where we break”.
According to Radar Online, an unnamed source suggested the themes may echo Jolie’s experiences following her 2016 separation from Pitt. However, Jolie has never said the film is about her former husband.
Jolie and Pitt were together for 12 years and married for two. Their separation led to years of legal disputes, including a battle over Château Miraval.
Her personal journey has also drawn comparisons with Couture, while Jolie recently said her “fighting spirit” is returning, crediting her children for helping her reconnect with herself.
