Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love, led by Jennifer Lawrence, has been given a production window. It will go into production this Summer, but currently no release date has been set. The film is based on a 2019 novel of the same name by Ariana Harwicz.
“In a forgotten patch of French 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,” the novel’s description reads. “Given surprising leeway by her family for her increasingly erratic behavior, she nevertheless feels ever more stifled and repressed. Motherhood, womanhood, the banality of love, the terrors of desire, the brutality of ‘another person carrying your heart forever’: Die, My Love faces all this with a raw intensity. It’s not a question of if a breaking point will be reached, but rather when, and how violent a form will it take?”
Lynne Ramsay spoke previously with Variety in which she stated about the film, “It’s quite simple. It’s not set in the Arctic. It’s not in a boat. It’s just them in a house, it’s just them in a village, so it’s easy to make.”
