MUBI, the global film distributor, streaming service and production company, has released the teaser trailer for Die My Love, the sensational new film from writer/director Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here, Morvern Callar, We Need to Talk About Kevin). The film will receive its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on October 17, followed by a wide release in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on November 14. The film received its World Premiere at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
The film’s synopsis reads: “A hopeful young and loving couple (Grace and Jackson) move from New York to an inherited house in the country. Grace tries to find her identity with a new baby in the isolated environment. Yet as she begins to unravel, it’s not in weakness but imagination, strength and a stunning untamed vivacity that she discovers herself anew.”
Set in rural America, Die My Love is a portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness. It stars Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle), Robert Pattinson (Mickey 17, The Batman), LaKeith Stanfield (Judas and the Black Messiah, The Book of Clarence), Nick Nolte (Cape Fear, 48 Hours, The Prince of Tides), and Sissy Spacek (Carrie, Coal Miner’s Daughter, In the Bedroom).
Ramsay said: “To explore the tiny loaded dramas, traumas and endurance in the everyday. The unexpected happening. The loss of oneself. The paralysis. I found that all in Grace. And how Jackson loves her despite his inability to ever understand her.”
Ramsay’s previous work consists of Ratcatcher (1999), Cannes 1999 Un Certain Regard, BAFTA winner Most Promising Newcomer; Morvern Callar (2002), starring Samantha Morton, Cannes 2002 multiple award winner, BIFA nominee for Best Director and Best Screenplay; We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) starring Tilda Swinton, nominated for Cannes 2011 Palme d’Or, BIFA winner for Best Director, BAFTA nominated for Best Director; Swimmer (2012), BAFTA winner for Best Short Film; You Were Never Really Here (2017) starring Joaquin Phoenix, Cannes 2017 winner for Best Screenplay and Best Actor, BAFTA nominated for Best British Film; Brigitte (2019), part of Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales Series, Venice Film Festival 2019.
