As I delve deeper into the world of cinema, I can’t help but marvel at the extraordinary journeys that both Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie have traversed, not just as actresses, but as individuals who have harnessed their pain and transformed it into art.


In the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival’s fourth day, the world premiere took place for “Without Blood,” a war drama film that was written, directed, and co-produced by Angelina Jolie.

According to the title of Alessandro Baricco’s book, the movie adaptation made its premiere in the Special Presentations segment at an annual festival. Members of the cast and team were present to aid in the marketing efforts.

Salma Hayek, our leading actress, gracefully walked the red carpet, adorned in a stunning burgundy sequined gown that accentuated her feminine figure at the upper part, becoming slightly more relaxed from her waist downwards.

The striking number had an off-the-shoulder design, along with an extra strip of fabric that went from rested around the top of her left shoulder.

To complete my adoration for her, I couldn’t help but notice how the Academy Award-nominated actress elegantly complemented her ensemble with a variety of rings – none more precious to me than the one she wore on her finger from her husband, François-Henri Pinault. Her ears sparkled with dangling earrings as well, adding an extra touch of glamour that left me in awe.

Additionally, it was disclosed not long ago that she had small patches of gray in her otherwise black hair, a development that occurred shortly following her social media post where she expressed acceptance of having ‘gray hair’ during her holiday.

At the Toronto International Film Festival on its fourth day, the actress from Beatriz At Dinner displayed her affection for her native Mexico by standing beside the Mexican flag.

Later on, Demian Bichir and Angelina Jolie joined her on the red carpet, and the three of them took turns posing for photos and conversing.

When the renowned actress appeared on stage at the TIFF Tribute Awards, she was wearing a teal gown with a matching cape.

According to IMDb, the war movie is being characterized as a story that allegorically delves into topics like family, conflict, and retribution.

In addition to Hayek, the cast includes Demián Bichir, Juan Minujín, Angelica Pisilli, along with two of Jolie’s children – Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt and Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

During a conversation at TIFF Hayek told Entertainment Weekly, Hayek confessed that she wasn’t initially sold on playing role of Nina, a woman who endures both the brutality of war and toil of searching for healing in its aftermath.

The individual from Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico, aged 58, expressed that they had no desire to be part of the movie or play the character Nina. They explained that they did not wish to revisit the emotional spaces associated with her life journey, so they told Angie (presumably a director or producer), “I don’t want to portray this woman. I don’t want to. It’s too emotionally taxing. I’ve worked hard for many years to reach a happy place in my life, and I don’t want to endure weeks of suffering for it.

After examining the script thoroughly, including its advantages and disadvantages, the performer found the role to be an ‘intricate acting challenge.’

The narrative unfolds around a woman caught up in a complex, long-term scheme for intricate retribution, triggered by the brutal killings of her loved ones.

In this movie, you should be constantly teetering on the brink of total collapse, but never actually give in to that collapse, as Hayek explained to the press.

While Hayek was on the fence over signing on to star in the movie, Jolie went into lobbying mode and eventually sold her on the emotionally demanding role after ‘a lot of long conversations.’

Hayek expressed that she found herself reluctant to confront personal traumas, even though the character she was portraying was in entirely different circumstances. This, she suggested, is an experience many women can relate to, as we’ve all faced situations where we’ve been left behind, where men have made the significant decisions in our lives, leaving us with little choice but to comply. We’ve also experienced having our power taken away from us at a young age and feeling powerless to escape the trauma. However, she added, it was through anger and hate that she found the courage to overcome these traumas.

She explained, ‘I realized that this character is significant for reasons that go beyond the events depicted in the film.’

Following numerous weeks and months collaborating with Jolie during the production, Hayek now ranks her as the number one ‘exceptional actor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with as a director.’

As it happens, the Oscar-winning actress from Girl, Interrupted seemed to have a knack for saying and doing the right things to maintain an engaging dynamic with her co-star.

In her own words of admiration, Hayek expressed, “I’ve never felt more appreciated. She recognized me as the perfect fit for the role. I hadn’t realized I was the ideal choice until that very moment.

Angelina Jolie’s sixth directorial venture, titled “Without Blood,” follows her previous works such as “A Place in Time” (2007), “In the Land of Blood and Honey” (2011), “Unbroken” (2014), “By the Sea” (2015), and “First They Killed My Father” (2017).

Over the past 17 years, not only did Jolie take on the role of a director, but she was also the writer for four out of the six movie scripts she oversaw during this period.

A yellow swimsuit with white hair creates a flawless match, she posted on Instagram, tagging it as #Ibiza Beachwear.

So far, there’s no official word on when Without Blood will makes its widespread release.
