Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson's Animalistic Descent Into Madness in ‘Die My Love' Gets 6-Minute Cannes Standing Ovation Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson's Animalistic Descent Into Madness in ‘Die My Love' Gets 6-Minute Cannes Standing Ovation Jennifer Lawrence has electrified the Cannes Film Festival with the world premiere of "Die, My Love," the latest directorial effort from the acclaimed Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay. The movie earned a 6-minute ovation following its world premiere. "Die, My Love" is in competition at Cannes and competing for the Palme d'Or.

I'm so overwhelmed. Thanks to these amazing actors. I've got to get it together, I'll see you in a minute," she said, breaking into a run up the aisle and out of the Palais. In the film ,Lawrence and Pattinson proved worthy adversaries, who bicker and screw their way into emotional oblivion in Ramsey's tense portrait of a woman undone. The crowd at Cannes viscerally reacted to Lawrence's self-inflicted violence - smashing her head into mirrors, jumping through glass panes and scratching the walls until her fingers bled. "Die, My Love" is based on author Ariana Harwicz's 2017 novel of the same name, which centers on a new mother who enters psychosis after developing postpartum depression. Oscar winner Lawrence stars in Ramsay's film as the mother, with Robert Pattinson playing her husband. The couple's marriage is thrown into disarray amid the wife's mental health struggle. Ramsay's supporting cast includes LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte. The film does not yet have a U.S. distributor but is surely going to be a big sales title out of Cannes.
