“As a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what [my character] would do,” Lawrence shared at the festival. “And it was just heartbreaking…I had just had my firstborn, and there’s not really anything like postpartum. It’s extremely isolating. She doesn’t have a community. She doesn’t have her people. But the truth is, extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating, no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.”
With its provocative title, its cast, and its billing as both a dark comedy and a thriller, “Die My Love” promises an experience as unpredictable as it is unsettling.
The film is directed by Lynne Ramsay, with a screenplay by Ramsay, Alice Birch, and Enda Walsh, adapted from a novel by Ariana Harwicz. The cast includes Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Lakeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte, Gabrielle Rose, Debs Howard, Sarah Lind, and Marcus Della Rosa. Producers are Andrea Calderwood, Justine Ciarrocchi, Lawrence, Thad Luckinbill, Trent Luckinbill, Martin Scorsese, and Molly Smith, with executive producers Bruce Franklin, Jamin O’Brien, Pattinson, and Rachel Smith.
“Die My Love” follows a new mother as she battles with postpartum depression with her husband in a remote, forgotten rural area of Montana. The film delves into themes of mental illness, identity, and the complexities of female experience.
Synopsis:
Grace and Jackson, a young couple who move from New York City to Jackson’s rural childhood home in Montana, are in search of a quieter life. As they adjust to their new surroundings and become parents, Grace begins to struggle with feelings of isolation and psychological distress.
