Mubi Strikes A Deal To Buy Rights To Lynn Ramsay's 'Die My Love' At Cannes Film Festival - mxdwn Movies
The feature had its world premiere at Cannes on Saturday, with lead stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson in attendance. The film is an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel of the same title, with only a minor change of the setting being changed from France to Montana. The screenplay was written by Ramsay, Enda Walsh, and Alice Birch and produced by Lawrence and Martin Scorsese.
Lawrence plays Grace, a new mother who is diagnosed with postpartum depression and begins “going in and out of psychosis.” Pattinson plays Jackson, Grace’s husband; Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte play Pam and Harry, Jackson’s parents. LaKeith Stanfield stars as well, playing Karl. The Hollywood Reporter described the feature adaptation as “a thoughtful examination of a complex relationship and all the patience and understanding it requires,” adding that it was “a punishing watch that pays off in the end.”
