“Die, My Love” is the upcoming adaptation that will bring to the big screen a trio of highly acclaimed actors from the industry that we didn’t know we needed until now: Jennifer Lawrence, LaKeith Stanfield and Robert Pattinson.
The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Argentine author Ariana Harwicz in 2019, which revolves around a woman living in rural France who struggles with intense emotions and mental turmoil.
Filming began in August 2024, and its release is set to be one of the most anticipated, given the pedigree of the cast and crew, with Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here) directing and Martin Scorsese producing.
Is Die, My Love based on real events?
No! “Die, My Love” is not based on a true story in the strict sense; rather, it is a work of fiction. However, the book touches on deeply human and universal themes such as motherhood, loneliness, despair and alienation.
The emotional intensity and psychological depth of the narrative may make it seem like it is based on real events, but it is a literary creation that reflects the concerns and thoughts of the Argentine author, Ariana Harwicz.
The raw and intense portrayal of these themes in the book is expected to translate into a gripping cinematic experience under the direction of Ramsay, known for her work on movies like “We Need to Talk About Kevin”.
What is Die, My Love about?
The story follows a woman living in rural France, trapped in a life of isolation and alienation. It is a raw and visceral exploration of her psyche, as she feels trapped in her own life, battling against social conventions and her own internal demons.
She struggles with intense emotions, such as frustration, hatred, desire, and despair, while dealing with her role as a mother and wife in an environment she perceives as oppressive.
