The Film and Its Director

Lynne Ramsay’s film, "Die, My Love," tells the story of a new mother struggling with postpartum depression. Ramsay, who wrote the script with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch, has been to Cannes several times before with her debut film "Ratcatcher" and other notable works, including "We Need to Talk About Kevin" and "You Were Never Really Here."

A Night to Remember

The evening was filled with warmth and appreciation, and the team was grateful for the opportunity to come together and celebrate their film. As Ciarrocchi noted, "Every film is an odyssey… working with Lynne Ramsay is one of the greatest privileges of our career so far." The night was a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication, and they were eager to share their film with the world at the upcoming premiere.
