Good morning: In today's edition of The Industry, we look at:
We Need to Talk About Lynne Ramsay, Sharon Stone Cold, Brendan Fraser Cloudy, Shades of 300, TIFF + NYFF + Sundance, oh my!
Let’s go!
In our opinion, Lynne Ramsay (dir: You Were Never Really Here, We Need to Talk About Kevin) is the greatest living filmmaker in their prime.
She has only directed four features, and her next one is primed to be exceptional.
Here’s the breakdown:
Die, My Love
Director/Co-Writer: Lynne Ramsay
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence
In talks to co-star: Robert Pattinson
Producer: Martin Scorsese
Co-Writer: Enda Walsh (Cillian Murphy’s Small Things Like These (2024), Michael Fassbender’s Hunger (2008)
Here’s the official synopsis:
In a forgotten patch of countryside, a woman is battling her demons: embracing exclusion yet wanting to belong, craving freedom whilst feeling trapped, yearning for family life but wanting to burn the entire house down. Given surprising leeway by her family for her increasingly erratic behavior, she nevertheless feels ever more stifled and repressed.
There’s a hyperbolic intensity that is perfect for Ramsay’s filmmaking to capture.
