TO WATCH: “DIE MY LOVE” BY LYNNE RAMSAY
The child is parked on the porch. The mother crawls across the grass-covered ground on all fours like a panther. She reveals her animalistic side. The animal thing that drives us to pair up, to have sex, and to fall in love is the precursor to the adored pink being crying on the porch.
The living, wailing, needy thing you’d do anything for.
In Die My Love, Lynne Ramsay paints a raw and uncompromising portrait of a woman consumed by love and madness. With her suspiciously often absent husband, Jackson, things spiral further out of control. Screaming matches, violent outbursts, and a complete lack of understanding for one another. Fueled by Grace’s internal collapse, she leaves behind a trail of destruction.
Grace and Jackson move into a small house surrounded by nature, forests, wide fields, and, above all, silence. A silence that should have dissolved into thin air with the birth of their child. What begins as an idyllic life slowly but surely turns into a nightmare for Grace. Overwhelmed by her newfound role as a mother and isolated by the remoteness of their home, she begins to lose her mind. What starts as an unfulfilled sexual desire soon turns into the slow burning of her psyche.
