Angelina Jolie on why she made By the Sea: I wanted to explore grief

I wroteBy the Seabecause I wanted to explore grief, Jolie Pitt says.

When the bartender speaks, and speaks about loss, thats how I reflect on her.

Thats how I feel about her, her death.

(Niels Arestrup portrays the bartender.)

Everybody in the film represents a different way of addressing grief, Jolie Pitt explains.

Jolie says she hopes the movie will leave audiences with something to chew on.

I love films that make you walk away thinking and still trying to put the pieces together.

By the Seawill have its world premiere at AFI FEST on Nov. 5 before opening in theaters Nov. 13.
