Ten years after they became Hollywood's hottest couple in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," Angelina Jolie and Brad return to the screen together under much darker circumstances.

The new trailer for "By the Sea" shows them as a husband and wife in crisis, drinking, smoking and moping against spectacular scenario and hotel opulence in France in the 1970s while Harry Nilsson mournfully (and ironically) croons "Perfect Day."

Jolie tells DGA Quarterly that she directed and wrote "By the Sea" -- shot during their real honeymoon to Malta -- as "an art film, the kind of movie that I like to see but not something I'm usually cast in."

"We're proud of ourselves for being brave enough to try it," she says. "I think "By the Sea" was the hardest film for me because it wasn't [issue-driven]. It's something I probably won't do very much of."

"By the Sea" opens in November.

By the Sea

"When we die on the inside, the outside is left wandering dangerously by the sea."
