The acclaimed actors live in love and madness as a married couple in upcoming film
This year at Cannes, director Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love became one of the festival’s most talked about — and debated — films, and now, general audiences get a sneak peek with a new trailer ahead of its Nov. 7 theatrical release.
The movie is based on the 2012 novel by Argentine author Ariana Harwicz of the same name and is produced by Martin Scorsese. In the trailer, Jennifer Lawrence (also one of the film’s producers) plays a new mother who spirals into psychosis while she and her husband (Robert Pattinson) seemingly struggle to make a real life for themselves in rural Montana.
The trailer is a rapid-fire montage of their ups and downs set to the upbeat, old-school rock n’ roll of “The Clapping Song” by Shirley Ellis. The pair is seen crawling through a wildflower field, dancing, and jumping, but also hollering at each other, brandishing knives, and at some point, Lawrence licks a window with zeal. The film will also star LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek.
“It was one of the more divisive films to play at Cannes this year, to say the least — but everything you’ve heard about Lawrence’s go-for-broke performance is indeed true,” Rolling Stone senior editor and critic David Fear wrote about Die My Love as one of the most anticipated movies of the fall. “Unhinged doesn’t begin to cover it.”
