Marianne Pearl and Jolie held forth at a Cannes press conference, along with Jolie’s companion and the film’s co-producer Brad Pitt. Said Jolie, “For me, so much of why this film was so important to do is because I highly doubt there is anybody in this room who has more reason to hold hate inside herself than Mariane, and she doesn’t.” She might want to ask Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, for whom he reportedly first optioned Mariane’s memoirs as a starring vehicle.
