Die, My Love. Charco Press.

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.
