The actress revealed that she had "a complete meltdown" while shooting the film, a love story set during the Bosnian War.
"I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad [Pitt] found me crying," she said during a live online chat about the film. "I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small. I thought, 'Who am I to take this on?'...I had a complete meltdown."
Jolie, who also wrote the film's screenplay, was unsure when asked whether she'll reprise her role as a director.
'I didn't plan to become a director, and I still have trouble saying I'm a director," she admitted. 'I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up, by default, being the director. It was a pleasure but I wonder if it would be a pleasure with another cast and crew, and a subject matter that wasn't so special."
"In the Land of Blood and Honey" could earn Jolie a Golden Globe award this weekend - the film is nominated in the best foreign film category.
