Lynne Ramsay’s ‘Die, My Love’ and Kristen Stewart’s ‘Chronology of Water’ Confirmed for Cannes

The festival's late-breaking additions also include Ethan Coen's "Honey, Don't!" and the new film from Lav Diaz.

As is tradition, the Cannes Film Festival has announced late-breaking additions to its 2025 festival lineup, with new films coming from Lynne Ramsay, and Saeed Roustayi.

The 78th edition will now include Ramsay’s “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, in the competition. All the Scottish director’s previous films have premiered at Cannes; the dark martial comedy/horror is her first film since 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here” won the Cannes Best Screenplay prize. Here, Jennifer Lawrence plays a wife unraveling in the country, and married to Pattinson’s character. LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek also star in this adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s novel. Ramsay wrote the script with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch.

The film made it into Cannes just in time as hoped, and this means we’ll be seeing Lawrence and Pattinson standing in front of glittering flash bulbs on the Palais red carpet.

Meanwhile, “Woman and Child,” the latest film by Iranian director Saeed Roustaee, will also join the competition this year. Roustaee was nominated for the Palme d’Or in 2022 for “Leila’s Brothers,” a three-hour family epic starring frequent Asghar Farhadi collaborator Taraneh Alidoosti.

In Un Certain Regard, Kristen Stewart’s long-in-the-works directorial debut “The Chronology of Water,” starring Imogen Poots, will compete for the Camera d’Or. The film is based on Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir about finding salvation out of abuse by becoming a swimmer.

Simón Mesa Soto’s “Un Poeta” and Pedro Pinho’s “O Riso e a Faca (Le Rire et le Couteau)” will also debut in Un Certain Regard.

Kōji Fukada’s “Renai Saiban,” Hlynur Pálmason’s “Astin Sem Eftir Er,” and Lav Diaz’s “Magalhaes” will join the Cannes premiere section.

Vincent Maël Cardona’s “Le Roi Soleil” and Ethan Coen’s “Honey, Don’t!,” starring Margaret Qualley, will premiere in the Midnight section. Focus Features also announced that “Honey, Don’t!” will open nationwide on August 22.

In Special Screenings, “Amelie et la Metaphysique des Tubes” from Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han, “Mama” from Or Sinai, “Arco” from Ugo Bienvenu, and “Qui Brille au Combat” from Josephine Japy join the lineup.

And as part of a tribute to Pierre Richard, “L’Homme Qui a Vu L’ours Qui a Vu L’homme” will play the festival.
