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 leeway by her family for her increasingly erratic behaviour, 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.
Lynne Ramsay, the film's iconic director, says of the film, "At the heart of this story is the complexity of love and how it can change and transform over time. I aimed to keep it grounded, human, spontaneous and funny at times, capturing the moments that feel small but carry a lot of weight. This film is for anyone who's ever been in a relationship – there's heartbreak and beauty in vulnerability."
Die, My Love stars Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte, and LaKeith Stanfield, and is produced by Andrea Calderwood, Justine Ciarrocchi, Jennifer Lawrence, Martin Scorsese, Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill.

We were thrilled to have been asked to help find musical talent for ‘What If’, a short film directed by STREETDANCE duo Max and Dania, produced by Vertigo Films and commissioned by BBC Films and Film Four as part of the 2012 London Film Festival programme. 'What if’ is a rendering of Rudyard Kipling’s much loved poem If; and tells the story of Joe (George Sargeant), a young teen, who learns, through an older, wiser man, played by Noel Clarke, the fundamental life lessons on nobility, patience and generosity; lessons on how to become an admirable young man.
Check out Bigz, Lady Leshurr , and none other than Faith SFX doing their thing in the film - also keep an eye out for screenings on BBC iPlayer, 4OD and Cineworld and Odeon cinemas.
