Cannes 2008: You've come a long way, Jolie

Clint Eastwood made a triumphant return to the Cannes Film Festival with his newest directorial work, "The Changeling," though the title may change to "The Exchange."

Based on a true story, circa 1928 Los Angeles, it tells of Christine Collins, a single working mother (Angelina Jolie) whose nine-year-old son disappears while she is at work as a telephone operator. The LAPD, under constant criticism from the press, are determined to solve this case and five months later they bring home a boy they claim is her Walter. The kid clearly isn't her son but he is looking for a home and parent, claiming to be her son. The police bring in doctors to explain how a boy who is several inches shorter and circumcised clearly is her son. She is sent to a psychiatric home where the police commit women creating "problems" for the department Collins and her lawyer never give up hope as we follow a series of surprising and sometimes violent twists.
