More key titles have joined the lineup for the 78th Cannes film festival. Lynne Ramsay’s thriller “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, will play in the main competition. Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut, “The Chronology of Water,” will play in Un Certain Regard, while Ethan Coen’s “Honey Don’t!” heads to the midnight section.
Returning to the festival for the first time in eight years, Ramsey’s “Die, My Love” is based on the novel by Ariana Harwicz. Lawrence plays a struggling new mother, Pattinson her inattentive husband. Joining it in the main competition is Saeed Roustaee’s “Woman and Child.”
Also in Un Certain Regard are Anna Cazenave Cambet’s “Love Me Tender”; Simón Mesa Soto’s “Un Poeta” and Pedro Pinho’s “Or Riso E A Faca” (“Le rire et le couteau”).
Earlier this month, the festival announced a first string of films heading to the Croisette, including Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme,” Richard Linklater’s “Nouvelle Vague,” the Dardenne brothers’ “Young Mothers” and Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest.” “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” will play out of competition.
