Overview
- Lawrence told Vulture she notices a difference working with women filmmakers, saying they are less likely to over-direct than some male counterparts.
- She described certain male directors as feeling the need to constantly assert control, calling the behavior annoying and at times neurotic.
- Lawrence highlighted Ramsay’s method on Die My Love as the opposite of over-directing, with careful world-building followed by stepping back to let performances emerge.
- Ramsay said she gave actors space and let takes run long to encourage discovery, citing unscripted moments that arose from that freedom.
- Die My Love, based on Ariana Harwicz’s novel and starring Lawrence with Robert Pattinson, LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek, opened Nov. 7 in U.S. theaters via Mubi.
